No, I'm not grumpy,  Grumpy's exhaust tips.  Except I'm pretty sure his nickname was a mistake.  Fairly nice chap Wink - but more importantly, his tips are first rate.  Very finely crafted pieces.

Now the whole story:  Folks may be aware of the OEM bags and rails I stumbled across recently.  (They're still out for paint).  Well, I bought this Bumblebee with Cobras and have decided to replace them with a nice set of 4" glasspacks.   Fairly long glass packs (36").   I figured these tips would be a nice touch with the long cans and bags.

Boy, is that the truth.  Anyone with truck stacks or packs without these tips is missing out.

 At the risk of making Grumpy grumpy, it would probably be better if you were to inquire directly from him.   He is very competitive and the quality is first rate.   They are worth every penny.

Here's mine.  My stacks stick out a bit.  Tips were a very tight fit.  Sent them back to Grumpy and he turned 'em down a few more thousandths.  Fit is perfect now.  I also have the marine baffles, not visible in the photo.  Try to tame the noise a bit.

Grumpy is our Big BF in Florida,the difference is we come to him  instead Smiley I don't think there is anything he can't fix. We come to him for anything Valk related, he can fix it all, boats and airplane engines as well. Very talented and a class act who stands behind his work

Mine were just over 100 bucks a couple years ago, prices may have gone up. You can kinda see mine in my picture. I also sent you a pm Mark.

Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.
