A tip:
If you live in the Salt/Rust belt.
Don't go nuts welding the tip to the exhaust pipe. My 5" Monster Tip from Geno's is on its 3rd winter. Its shot. All rusty. It was fine this fall. It will need to come off and be replaced with a new one this spring. A rusty exhaust tip LOOKS LIKE CRAP. I ground down any high spots inside the tip so I got a slip fit. Not a tight fit. I drilled the tip flange and exhaust pipe with a 3/32" bit & secured it with 2 SS sheet metal screws. Replacement will be a breeze. I'd be grinding 'till the cows come home' if I had welded it on.
I live in the salt belt. Thats most of the problem. Its not the quality of the tip. Geno's products are top quality. All the chrome stuff I have outside the truck does not last with the salt. Maybe 2 or 3 winters. I have found putting a light coat of grease on my chrome front diff cover does a really good job of protecting it from rusting.
