Leaf Spring bolt/ Exhaust problem
so i wanna put one of them nice tips on my 2000 xj, but the bolt holding my leaf spring sticks out right in front of the end of my exhaust preventing this? any ideas, so far removing the bolt has been unsuccessful.

what do you want, sound, performance?. i personally have outgrown the loud exhaust. lots of guys here have flowmaster of different varieties. i'd pick a nice less agressive flowmaster.

flowmaster 40. one of the clamps was rattling against my spring pack when i put them in, just turned the clamp itself a little and problem solved.

My exhaust is 2.5" pipe so it wouldn't fit in the stock position between the leaf spring and the gas tank, either. I had the muffler shop bend me up a one of a kind tailpipe that exits at the corner of the body on the passenger side. You could do this with a basic chrome tip and have it look good but, one of those riced out stovepipe tips wouldn't look right. You didn't really elaborate on what kind of "cool" exhaust tip it was. Hope this helps.

If you have a good exhaust shop near, I would go that route.. New cat with a 2.5" out, run 2.5" as back as far as you want, muffler optional IMO.

hahaha. yeah, i am planning on heading to the local muffler shop. going for 2.5 inch and possibly a new cat. now, i did hear 'high flow' cats were a load of bs. they told me the stock cat would most lilkely allow the exhaust to flow straight through with no problem. ??? what do you guys think. i would love to go no muffler as well, but will i pass emissions and inspection?? no one i have talked to has come up with an answer.

one more thing, i have yet to outgrow the 'loud' stage. so i want it to be as loud and still sound as good as possible. although taht could simply be a matter of opinion. because many of the honda's i see are louder than s*** but are the most annoying thing you could imagine
