As requested, here are some before and after pics of the new exhaust. I had the shop cut off the old resonator, bend some new pipe out the side and add a tip of my choice.

Before: so lame.

After: SO much cleaner now!

This mod turned out to be just what I wanted (enhanced look, very minimal sound increase and well under budget)!!

Mono: they had an anodized black tip same as mine I thought would look pretty sick on yours since you have black paint.

Who makes the tip? I like the black one, looks great! I chopped my reso, but just threw a tip on and dumped it.
 
Looks awesome! Have you tried driving around with the rear window down? I've seen on posts that rerouting the exhaust toward the sides decreases the amount of exhaust fumes getting into the cabin.

Looks great. If you do not mind what were the costs?
 
As far as who makes the exhaust tip, I'm not sure. The shop gets them directly from a warehouse in New Mexico. The lady I talked to on the phone is going to try and find out the brand for me. All I have is the stock #: sto43s2.

In terms of sound, not much different. There is a little more of a drone sound, but hardly noticeable.

Honestly I never noticed any exhaust fumes getting into the cabin before and I still can't smell anything now.

Out the door I paid $95. It could have been less, but the tip I chose was $60 or $70, which was more expensive than the majority of the other tips.

My original budget for this mod was around $300, so when I found out how much it was going to be, I was pretty stoked!!

Oh ok, I'm on the west side. I haven't met very many people from NM on the forum.
