It's pretty cool. A dual outlet tip may look better, may not. Either way the tip protrudes from the bumper about 1"-1.5" which I don't care for, flush is the way to go.

I hadn't found a dual tip that I actually liked. I did like the oblong Magnaflow tip that's on there now.

The rear lip will eventually be replaced with a new fibreglass one. I wasn't sure about the placement, so I decided on wht you see in the pics. I thought it was pretty cool to have the word "Magnaflow" showing. If I had planned on keeping the factory rear lip, I would have had the top of the tip flush with the rear lip.

Please keep the good and bad comments coming. They may help me change it around a bit in the real near future.

Its a prototype CF trunk handle replacement from bBist.com. Yes, a full replacement, not an overlay. I will have some after SEMA for anyone in the Nor*Cal region interested in it.

Brad,

Nice!. I like it. I actually checked-it-out after the Friday night meet. That's pretty daring mod and it came pretty tricked...

Roger,

THANKS!

I would still be stock if I didn't show up to my first meet in August last year, and seen your xB. I only had a week or two and when I saw your xB, I knew I had to lower it and and some aftermarket wheels.

Thanks for the motivation.

Very Clean MOD you beat me to it :twisted: "Great minds do think alike" now I will have to kick it up a notch and go for the "LAKEPIPES" single or triple hmm?
I already have the Moon Space Caps! Yeah that is what I will do no more DamD kit Work wheels just going to go "smooth all around and scrape the ground" oh yeah got's to have the flame kit to

So what custom Lip you going to do?

Dave,

Single pipe along the outside of the sideskirt. Have start up front coming out of the sideskirt. Don't forget the thin red stripe on the whhel, or on the tire itself. Yes, and the flame kit too.

Then you'll have to get some ____fer extensions like Ken (NCP31). Like this:



In case of the red X, here's the URL. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...0/f99c1b86.jpg

I'm patiently waiting for Tim.

squirrel,
Are you going to get a lip fabricated into the cut of the bumper?

I'm patiently waiting for a lip kit to be finished. The opening will follow the contours of the new tip, and will be less square at the top of the opening. I'm just waiting for the kit to be finished.

Thanks Rodney. I've always liked how clean your xB looked.

Thanks for the compliment. I had some help with the technical side of it. It was an idea that I thought I would try to see how it would work out.

Some like it, some don't. I like it.

So then has anyone done side exhaust? Like F-150 Lightning edition? Is that even possible?

I was thinking about that also. The problem is the frame rails. The exhaust piping will have to go below that, and if your xB is lowered, it'll definitely scrape.

The way my exhaust is set-up, the muffler is set high up against the floor, so the resonator actually hangs lower than my muffler, and the tip.
