    drain holes?

    Hey Guys,

    I have just installed dual exhaust with 18" SST tips.

    The tips are 304 SST, 18" long, ROLLED and tapered ends. THey DO NOT have moisture drain holes at the end. Should I drill a hole for drainage in the bottom? It appears that the moisture is dripping over the rolled edge and is leaving a mark.

    Should I drill a drain hole? Please chime in.

    Thanks

        No. I would not. They are stainless. Yeah you get a little black mark but that is the price you pay for wanting to display your soot pipe. No matter what you do it's gonna get black and dirty. You will have to clean it regularly.

          I clean my tips every wash and mine are just painted pipe. Takes about 30 seconds. I wouldn't drill the holes. The minute you step on the gas, the condensation is going to blow out anyway.
