Quote from XCNuse : @wark, its somewhat simple, you have the headers which bring down the exhaust to the pipes which turns into the first muffler where a catalyst removes "bad" polutions, then down the rest of the way bending to get out of the way of... other things, then you have the 2nd muffler which is i believe usually used to cancel out sounds (or enhance), then you got the tip
yeh, i realize tips refer to all of the post-muffler pipe. just too used to calling those last chromed four inches on trucks the tips.
nevertheless, exhaust tips are rarely longer than a few inches... that's why they're called tips in the first place. =P
google image search for exhaust tips and see if you find anything like the FZ50's...
p.s. great looking v8 =] what are you putting it in?
