I personally don't care for that style. That doesn't make it a bad style though. I did see that exhaust on a Chevy Astrovan and that definately looked stupid because it didn't make since to me to sup up a mini van.

It looks like it takes away a few inches from your departure clearance

Yes, it looks ridiculous. I've seen those exhaust tips on several Chicano themed pickups that had murals on the rear tailgate. May I recommend a fine set of Yosemite Sam mudflaps for your "custom" vehicle.

All in good fun, To each his own.

get rid of the sticker that your dealer put on it, why advertise for someone unless they are paying you...
the Exhaust tips look fine, just not for off roading

That is exhaust in ONLY COOL if huge flames come out when you step on the gas and I mean HUGE flames, enough to torch an innocent bystandar or small Honda behind you!

Looks alot the Z06 exhaust tips. If you like it, don't worry what everyone else thinks. Go for it.

They look fine to me.. Not my personal taste.. I prefer rectangular ports.. The four port is a nice look.. I am not worried about aangle of departure either,, If I really need to go seriously off road I have other toys..
Bottom line if you like them..that is all that counts.

TAKE IT OFF!!! Don't wait for tomorrow- go get a hacksaw and cut it off yourself!!!
Who conned you into putting that abomination on the H2? I mean PLEASE, have some selfrespect!!! What else have you done to your poor H2? You didn't take out the leather interior and replace it with crushed velvet, did you?
And have you had it in the dirt or mud yet?

Good man..............can I have them? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Just kidding...You made the right decision and the Hummer is a unique vehicle and except for RUDY (H2HIGH), most Hummers look really good with few enhancements. Tail pipes are not one of them. Rudy has a bitch'n yellow Hummer and he is just one of a few that have added mods to the exterior of the Hummer and were able to maintain the Hummer mystic.............

You did a good thing here....................

HeeeeeeeeHawwwwwwwwwww

my only question is do you have the matching mini welded chain link steering wheel to go with??? oh oh oh yeah, also those frilly deals that go around the top of the interior with the little balls hanging down....and the crown!!!!

seriously... I dont like exhaust tips showing.. it screws up departure angles...I went with an offroad package from corsa, it is essentially the same as factory, exhaust defects down...

hey to each his own...

Frank6150,

I bought my Hummer at Cochran too. What part of Western PA do you line? I live in Murrysville. I'm thinking of going with the Corsa touring system with the off road tip.

I'm from Monongahela area, about an hour from you. Shoot me a line and we can go wreak some havoc together. I will be getting my truck road worthy again on Monday so anytime after that I'm up for whatever.

'guess you've been finding out how honest the forum is. Since you asked, that's not a look that I would have gone for either. But one thing that no one else has bothered to ask is were you going for higher performance, and did you get it? If you are an on-road H2 person and have gotten better performance, then the opinions don't matter. IF the opinions DO matter, I guess you got your answer. It's individual, which is worth something, if that's what you were going for when you dropped your bucks off at the exhaust store. By the same token, some forum folks have added more chrome than a cholo in east L.A. but even though it doesn't add any performance quality they will still bash you here. I respect individuality. More power too you.
