Where to get an exhaust tip?

Guys ive been looking for a 4 inch to 5 inch exhaust tip. nothing to long maybe 6 inches but i cant justify spending 100 bucks for one from rbp or anything like that. i like the straight cut not the slash if anyone has some info much appreciated.

I haven't tried this yet, but I will...junk yard with a semi. You could probably get the entire stack for cheap. Might be worth a try.

Call Lary in the DTR store. I don't think that we have any tips listed, but he'll get you what you want. He may be out of the office for a day or two, tho.

Where ever you go, don't go to Langua (sic) speed... you'll never get it...

I bought a MBRP Angled 4 in/5 out tip from xtremediesel.com for about $60. Kind of pricey I know, but it's a nice dual walled stainless tip and I like it a lot.

I bought this one from Geno's: http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo....r=MEGS-0069-DG but they have others closer to what you want: http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo....NSA-TK5012DWBC

Here's Geno's Exhaust Tip page: http://www.genosgarage.com/products.asp?dept=202

The most expensive is $79.

I had the Megs one from Geno's on my last truck. I wanted stainless steel, and no clamps or hardware showing. They are like $45.

SummitRacing.com used to sell their own brand of tips at a very good price, that's where I got mine. I don't think they market them anymore but you can check. Other than that, SilverLine brand is reasonably priced.
My opinion, you want a tip longer than 6 inches. Something that short stuck on the end of a 4" pipe will look funny from the rear of the truck, like a Q-tip. I am sure you have pulled up behind other trucks with very a short tip on. Also you would be able to see the connection standing beside the truck. I suggest going at least 12 inches.
Another suggestion is to get a straight cut tip, not a slant cut. Slant cuts reduce the noise level, that's why the OEM tailpipe is slant cut. A rolled lip also helps with the tone and resonance.
