• The easily recognizable logo that brings to mind the quality of a Chevrolet vehicle is not really a bow tie but certain circles call one. It bears a similarity to the bow-tie shape. Chevrolet owners, like many car owners, are proud of their vehicles and like to dress them up in style. One aftermarket product that enhances Chevrolet vehicles is the bow tie exhaust tip.
  
  

About the Bow Tie Tip

• The bow tie exhaust tip is a shiny, eye-catching alternative to the unattractive round hole at the end of factory-produced exhaust pipe on your stylish Chevrolet vehicle. Fitting snugly over the end of the pipe, it gives the vehicle a finished look. The chrome-finished bow tie tip consists of stainless steel so that it will last the life of the vehicle. The logo at the end of the pipe is black nickel plate for decorative purposes and meets or exceeds factory specifications. Recommended for classic Chevrolet vehicles that are in the process of restoration, the bow tie tip looks good on any Chevrolet that has a visible exhaust pipe.
  
  

The Purchase of the Bow Tie Tip

• One easy way to purchase the bow tie tip is to order it from an online aftermarket auto parts retailer. Some restoration parts companies may also carry it. The manufacturer of the bow tie tip is Pilot Automotive, and if you have trouble finding a retailer that carries the tip, you may contact them or look at their website for dealers. The tips come in two different sizes. The small bow tie tip fits an exhaust pipe that has a 2-1/8-inch diameter. The tip is 7 inches long. The large bow tie tip fits over a 3-1/4-inch diameter pipe and is 9-inches long.
  
  

Installation of Bow Tie Tip

• Install the bow tie tip over a cool exhaust pipe. (Wait one hour after running the vehicle to ensure a safe work environment.) Fit the tip onto the exhaust pipe, ensuring that the logo is straight and that the wide sides of the bow tie logo position horizontally and the short sides vertically. Push the tip all the way onto the pipe. Tighten the bolt that has been provided with a wrench to ensure security. Admire the look.
