I think it looks awesome.

I actually bought a cheap one. We were going to try to make it fit on the back of the i3.
I need one to put on the back of my Volt.

They have a trailer hitch plug that looks like a claymore mine...

Not a poser. A 5” tip on a dually will look small, especially black. I run a 4” exhaust - 6” tip and think it’s perfect. The 7’a and 8’s are terrible. I really dig the down turns on a dually too.

Yup, goes well with the proposed flatbed. Don't forget the massive cab guard and cattle pusher front bumper.

I'm also waiting on a quote to have the lower part of the doors/rockers covered with Line X .

A few weeks ago I removed the muffler and replaced it with a straight pipe , being a turbo the muffler really isn't needed . With my stock 3 1/2 " diameter piping she has a nice growl to her but not too loud . But I'm thinking about finishing off the exhaust by installing an exhaust tip . Hence my question ( sorry for the long intro ) . Would installing this tip make me some kind of poser ? I personally think diesels look and sound good with these larger tips but I don't want to come off as a knuckle dragging goofball So some feedback please .

Plus I forgot to mention I am pulling the OEM bed off and replacing with a steel flatbed , there will be more open space to view the current setup . I think I've made up my mind .

While they might go with the flat bed they won't work well with my truck camper . I am going to have a cab guard to protect the back window but it will be understated in size . No cattle pusher on the front I'll leave that for the Texans . I'm going to start a " build " thread soon to chronicle the transformation .

30 years ago that tip would have stood out. Today it would barely get a glance from anyone for being out of place.

Looks good, buy it.
