#178858 - 09/07/01 10:20 AM Can I paint the tail pipe?
Iceman Member Registered: 20/06/01 Posts: 31 Loc: Salem, Oregon	I hate the silver metal tail pipe just sticking out of the back of my X. It looks bad. I was wondering if I can paint it? Will any type of paint work, or is there special paint I need to use for the high temp. of the pipe? Any advice would be appreciated. ------------------ Me and my X _________________________ Me and my X

Viper X Member Registered: 19/12/00 Posts: 1384 Loc: Mercer Island, WA	you can buy new exhaust tips for $20-100 depending on the look and size, sound etc. Or you could replace the exhaust for a cleaner look and better performance. slr's cat back exhaust: http://www.spencerlowracing.com/products/motors_catbackexhaust.html www.truckperformance.com xterraparts: http://www.xterraparts.com/cgi-bin/miva?...uct_Code=503231 ------------------ '01 SE 4X4 5-Speed Just Blue Ski_Racer27@Hotmail.com AIM: TwinTurbo27 [This message has been edited by ViperX27 (edited 07-09-2001).] _________________________ My Xterra Pics I wish I would have a real tragic love affair and get so bummed out that I'd just quit my job and become a bum for a few years, because I was thinking about doing that anyway.

Kerensky97 Member Registered: 12/03/01 Posts: 3385 Loc: Utah	I agree with you Iceman, when my X is all cleaned and polished I hate that flat steel gray tailpipe sticking out. Since I wont be able to afford an exhaust for awhile a chrome tip might be nice, just to make it all pretty like.

DaveDatsun Member Registered: 16/08/00 Posts: 1421 Loc: Sahuarita, AZ	I agree - that exhaust looks ratty on a clean X. There's nothing ricey about a different tip either. Unless it's 4 or 5 inches in diameter! If your budget does not allow for a high priced tip, here is an alternative: http://www.angelfire.com/nc2/mycoffeecan/page1.html dave and xtoy - and all the extra power... ------------------
