absolutely zero rub turning lock to lock or bumbs when driving and i mean aggressive dips and bumps. the only time it rubs is when (which i dont do anymore) go into a driveway at an angle where the rear opposite tire will go into the fender well deep enough to rub. i have enough ground clearance to go straight into driveways and not angled so im good now!

and the tips i got lucky with. i have a friend who works at a performance shop and they had a GTR owner buy aftermarket exhaust but hated the burnt tip look so they cut off the tips and welded his OEM tips to his aftermarket exhaust so my friend told me about the tips, i looked, i liked, the rest is history =D
