Are those tips just "flat" at the ends,..if so, that's what I'd have.
How wide are your exhaust pipes?
I would simply have chromed or stainless or whatever tips, not flared or anything just plain tips on the end of your pipes, to finish them off. I've had plenty of V8s, I've always had a chrome/polished or whatever, plain tips on the end, to finish off.

Turbos are not the go,...well they could be,..... if ya wanna have extra "complications".
But if ya wanna get some really simple extra grunt, a simple puffer on top of your LS3 will give you what ever you want,...and I mean,....whatever you want,.....600hp would be easy, and in a Defender?,...well, to be truthful, I just don't have the words.
There are blown LS3s running around in Aussie with 700HP PLUS, that could be driven to church on Sunday by a little old lady!!
With an LS3, the possibilities are boundless,.....if ya've got the dollars,.....the more you spend,....the faster you go!!.
Something like this is totally different to a modified diesel. Pretty much the same for cruising around, but if ya flatten it, ya're whole world changes,...if ya don't believe me, wait for the comments from the owner of the Defender the subject of this thread.
