Bolting Exhaust Tips On Versus Welding

so the time has come for you to look into truck exhaust tips. There is not much  of anything cooler than a nice looking exhaust tip of a big bad truck. Trucks  have somewhat lead the way for the coolest exhaust around. Maybe it's the fact  that we don't care about gas mileage but more about looks and sound.

Bolting On Versus Welding On

A lot of us are lazy and there is no hiding it. These bolt on exhaust tips are  pretty much small game when it comes to quality. There are a number of reasons  we don't recommend anyone to buy these wicked contraptions.

1. Theft

Why spend a good amount of money on something that could easily be stolen right  off your vehicle with a wrench? I see it happen all the time. Maybe less in the  country areas of the world, but around the city I see it all the time. I  somewhat feel bad for the people that do this to their sweet rides, but on the  other hand I don't really care because I see it as somewhat of a stupid choice  on their part.

These things are easy to steal. Just imagine how you put it on yourself.. it's  as easy as that to remove. I know it is a bit scary to think about someone  jacking your sweet exhaust tip, but it happens so be aware of it.

2. Falling Off

These things just fall off.. all the time! With a big motor from a truck, the  exhaust really vibrates at a good pace. Vibrations are going slowly shake bolts loose untill the whole object is low enough to fall off.

What a shame to just have that exhaust tip just straight up fall off eh? This  is worse than having somebody steal it, in my opinion because then you at least  have a cool story to go along with it.

3. It Looks Cheap

What looks better, a nice strong welded on tip or a bolt on skimpy tip? Man..  what a tough choice that one is. Would a monster truck or a racing truck bolt  on a cool looking tip?.. I don't think so.

The looks and quality are what were striving for here, is it not? Bolt on tips  are just not of that great of quality. I could maybe see a bolt on tip being ok  if the actual bolts go through the exhaust pipe and then bolt on inside.. but  that would make it pretty tough to get at the bolts.

The best way to go here is obviously welding on the tips. Some do disagree  with me, but I believe most will agree and that's going to be the majority for  the most part. But if you have any comments that might amount to me being  wrong, please do tell here below. I'm a very open person and am wrong  sometimes. I also enjoy learning new things, so please do tell.
