ANSA Exhaust Tips

[Oddmanout84]

I've been playing around with piecing together my exhaust for a while now, but every time I get to this portion I end up pulling hair out. I really, really like to look and sound of the ANSA slash cut resonated tips on the Z, and their website lists the exact part number that I want (TK5767). However, as they state on their website, ANSA does not sell to customers and you must buy their products through their distributors. The small list on their site is maddening to say the least, and navigating some of them leads to stupid menu systems that can only give you the part you want if you enter in the right vehicle (I usually order things on the internet so that I can AVOID the Autozone parts counter experience!!). The rest only carry certain product lines, and unless I'm somehow glossing over them the TK5767 isn't anywhere to be found.

 

So, does anyone know of a good distributor? I think there is a member on the site that makes them into finished systems, but I'm more of the DIY type when I can help it, and in this case I'd imagine my inquiry to his source was met with understandable silence. If anyone else is willing to help though, it would be appreciated...

I know of the member you speak of, and I won't name names, but I would have to recommend against using his services. He is a perfectly nice guy, but quality and timeliness were seriously lacking. Just something to think about.

 

My car had a "twice pipes" look Ansa on it when I bought it, but the pipes were horizontal instead of vertical. I still have them, they need to be cleaned up (and probably modded since the pipe size is pretty small) but if you are interested, you can basically have them.

Thanks. Unfortunately it doesn't get me anywhere though. I've had the twice pipes before, and while they were fine for the time they were a bit unwieldy and wouldn't work out for my current application. The reason I'm looking for the TK5767 tips is that they have a 2 1/4" ID, a bit larger than the 1.5" of the twice pipes (if memory serves me right). Allows me to retain the 3" exhaust piping I fabricated from the engine back without a massive restriction at the end. I'm not sure if the twice pipes would retain the same sound if I bored out the glass packs, either.
