That's true too. To me it's not a deal breaker. It's just how GM decided to do it and many manufacturer's do it this same way :shrug:

I wouldn't pay that much for a bumper with fake tips. You could cut your own into your bumper for much cheaper :imo:

:lol: ....and have FAR less quality of fit and finish most likely. I wanna see ya do it Yates :popcorn:

What about this set up makes the tips fake? It's not like the exhaust is actually exiting out the side and these tips in the bumper are just sitting there doing nothing.

To the exhaust dumping behind the bumper is not cool when there is "tips" in the bumper. I will just cut my resonator and have no tips showing before spending this kind of cash for basically the same thing.

The exhaust will still exit through the tips in the bumper! :think:

Wow, didn't realize I was starting something...haha.

It does still look good, I just don't like how there are so many luxury vehicles switching to this! At least I know the M series Bimmers will still have "real" tips.
