SOLO Quad Tips for the Saturn Sky and Opel GT Are In!!!
« on: July 05, 2009, 11:33:40 AM »
After much anticipation, the Sky quad tips have arrived.  They are double walled, staggered, angle cut, and made specifically to fit our exhaust kits.  Let us know what you think.

They're for Skys, our stock exhaust is rectangular, and the normal round tips don't work. Dual tips do, and look far better than the stock tips.

You'd have to mod the rear end of the Solstice to get them to fit I'd wager. Though, I wouldn't be surprised to see some Solstices rolling around with themat some point in time...

We will have a car hopefully next week to jig up the tips.  The Mach will be the first kit we jig up.

They will fit in the new fascia that Norm has made for the Sky.

Norm...How about a fascia that will allow the quad tips on a Solstice GXP and work with different cat back systems like my Magnaflow. I like these a lot.

Moondog had the first design Solo tips that we were not 100% happy with. Moondog’s tips currently have a more rolled edge instead of the newer style internal bevel. The bevel looks sharper, cleaner and crisper on the Saturn’s than the rolled edge. Moon has been gracious enough to lend us his car for the day tomorrow and we will be able to use his car as a template for our jigs. We will be updating his exhaust kit to the newer design tips. We appreciate so much Moondog and the many other customers who have come to our store multiple times to let us tinker and get the final product just right.  It seems that it takes too long but the final result is always worth the extra time. We will get photos of the tips on the car posted as soon as possible. Thanks for the feedback we are very glad you like the design.

As you all requested, here are pictures of the tips on Moondog's car...he let us use his car for the day to jig up the tips, and they look really great!  A big thank you to Moondog!!  Your feedback on the pictures would be great!

GREAT PICTURES, even I'm a person which likes to stay very close to the stock look, those tips made me to forget about stock tips' design.

One picture is missing :( a picture from rear from 4-6 feet away. (Steve don't be mad on me, is just me which wants to be 100% sure when you live on the other side of the earth and takes so long to have something from over there).

Ha ha I understand buddy!  Jeff took the pictures while Moondog's car was in the shop...maybe moondog can post up the picture you want, as I have posted everything Jeff sent me.
