Default Downturned tip will it look good?

I am tired of my titanium tip rattling so much so I was thinking about just welding on a SS piece of tubing.

What I was contemplating was putting a downturned tip instead of just straight out. Not anything radical but just a little.

Because of my test pipe I also get a lot of junk on my bumper, from the exhaust, so wouldn't this help that problem? So what does everyone think? Ya or nay?

here's a pic of mine

I tried that allready but no success. This also gives me a chance to do something different with my setup. Let's me stand apart from the rest. Think it'll look good?

I think J's makes one with a downturned tip on the end. Doesn't look good IMO. Reminds me of budget cars and trucks as they have a lot of down turned tips.

I actually saw a Fiat with a downturned tip but also a fake tip welded on top of it make it look like it was coming out straght. It was like that from the factory too

yeah, that's it.

Maybe you should try cutting a slant into it. It would be much easier to do and you'd get kinda the same result.

Turned-down is ugly. I don't care if its an econocar or the above J's exhaust. You might be able to get away with angle-cut, but that reminds me of straight-piped trucks, Mustangs, and Camaros. You could just go with a tip that extends further past the bumper or wash more often
