Since you just put these on, what is the black plastic piece that comes with each muffler?
Thanks! Saw it in a pic and don't know what it is.

It's a plastic tether that comes attached / slipped-onto a short stud welded onto the muffler pipe, and the other end can be slipped onto the same type of short stud that is welded onto the exhaust pipe.

It's basically another "hand" to hold up that end of the muffler until you can secure it.
Once you do that, the plastic tether comes off and can be thrown out.
I kept one

I painted the whole can flat black with BBQ paint. Like the tips shiny though so, I left those.

tips for install? Drop the panhard support drivers side and cut 3/4" off the unterminated hanger pass side. Do these and the install is slide-on simple.

Here's my ubiquitous ****ty video of GT500s as the only exhaust mod. No tinycam is going to do this sound justice, I'm afraid. They are perfect, just enough bite to let you know it's a V8 without any annoyances.

Not for me. Glad you're happy! One of the best mods to these cars is exhaust and you're setting yours apart as well. I love my huge chrome borla tips, but black just looks like they're super dirty to me. Jmo!

I think it looks nice Gabe. I'm also going to paint the backside of my mufflers. But I'm going to leave the tips shiny. Only other thing I'd do different - because I'm a member of the OCD club - is I'd mask a straight line around the muffler to get a clean edge.

I just painted my GT 500 mufflers black but I left the tips polished. I guess I am too much old school. I like for the tips to stand out but not the mufflers. Different strokes for different folkes.
