I have the tailpipe from my '03 ST that has 75K miles on it. I put on a Flowmaster 40 series 3"in/ dual 2.5" out and I'll be bending the new tailpipes this weekend hopefully if I get the time. I asked the guy at CarQuest how much the factory tailpipe was and he said they sale for $160 because it has the resonator/silencer on it. I don't know if anyone needs this pipe but if you're interested let me know and make me an offer. I'll post some pics later when I go back out to the garage.

Yea, trying to explain them to my daughter when she was 10 wasn't easy, even my son when he was 6 asked if he cant walk around naked, then why can guys drive with them hanging off the back of thier trucks.



I am sure that some people think they are cool, or whatever, and thats fine. But to me its like putting a porn shop next to your kids school.
 
Sorry for upsetting your sheltered life JerryA, I guess all I can tell you is don't look. I do have a 6 year old son and he looks at them and laughs but he doesn't ask if he can walk around naked. :wacko:

I have no problem 'not looking', and I usually just shake my head. But its not as easy with the children. Telling them "Don't look at " whatever, translates to "hmmm look at " whatever. I understand there is some need to show your balls to the world, either blue or red, even go with white to be patriotic. Im just stating a concern. But would you be OK with a porn shop advertising the latest new video put up next to your kids school showing the guy and gal's stuff?



Edit - Actually, we have had this discussion once before, I am not going to rehash old stuff. This is Liberal America now, your desire to be happy and have what you want should not be impinged upon, no matter the outcome or consequences those around you have to deal with when making your desired and wants reality.

Totally different scenerio all together. I understand your concern totally but you can't shield them from everyhing. Not trying to fight, argue or anything else. So to bring this thread back to what I started it as, is anyone in need of a stock tailpipe for their '01-'05 ST?:D:D;)

When I look at the exhaust on my truck, I just see a plain ol round end, nothing special. Is this something that I need to look at when I install an aftermarket exhaust?
 
It's a little cylinder just after the stock muffler. If you look right behind the muffler as the pipe starts to bend up over the rearend. I'll put some pics of my tailpipe on here when I get home.
 
I haven't had the chance to look under there, still stuck in the office for another 1/2. Will be checking when I leave though.



Now, this is something that comes with the new exhaust right? Or is it another piece that I would need to get?
 
No it's part of the factory tailpipe. If you get a factory style tailpipe replacement it will be part of it. If you get an aftermarket catback exhuast it won't be on that because it's mainly to reduce the sound of the exhaust. I've noticed a huge difference between the factory 2.25" exhaust and the Flowmaster muffler 3"in/ dual 2.5" out and I haven't even bent the dual tailpipes yet. Hopefully Saturday I can do that, tomorrow I'm trimming the front wheelwells since I just installed the 1.5" spacers and the 285/75/16 BFG's I just put on ("we have rubbing"). :lol:
 
It's called a resonator, they also call it a silencer



What does it sound like if its gone and the only thing you have is the facotry muffler,
