T304 Stainless Steel Exhaust Tips that have a durable Black Powder Coat covering. Powder Coat is a durable long lasting method of sealing a metal surface against elements. You can find powder coating on everything from automotive frames and suspension parts to motorcycle frames to metal fencing.
High Gloss or Flat Finish
Assured Automotive Company released in late 2009 their “Black Powder” Powder Coated Exhaust Tips. They are available in Gloss or Flat(satin) finish. AAC0′s “Black Powder” Exhaust Tips use a high temperature powder coating process. They can within temperatures of more than 400 degrees.
The powder coating process on AACo’s Exhaust tips are done right here in the United States.
Best of both worlds
All of Assured Automotive Companies Exhaust tips are made of T304 Stainless Steel. A high grade Stainless Steel that will not rust for over 300 years. T304 Stainless has more nickel content than any other stainless. If your “Black Powder” Exhaust Tip happens to get a rock chip, no need to worry. The tip will not rust like chrome over steel will. Stainless Steel also welds easy. Typical mig welder will weld the tip on with no problems of burn through. Some manufacturers use black chrome. Black chrome will peel and flake off after time. Powder Coating will last for years and years.
Huge Selection
Assured Automotive Company has the largest selection of Powder Coated exhaust muffler tips available. 40 different designs and sizes for most all make and model of cars and trucks. Diesel or gas. Chances are AACo has what you are looking for.
When car and truck owners are getting ready to install an stainless steel exhaust tip to there pride and joy(no, not the kid!!), there are some common questions always asked.
Assured Automotive Company(AACo) answers thousands of questions every year regarding exhaust extensions. AACo has been in the automotive industry for over 19 years and can answer all your questions accurately. Below are some of the most common questions AACo is asked regarding exhaust tips.
Will my Vehicle Exhaust be louder??
Exhaust tip will not change the db level of the vehicle’s exhaust exit. A muffler and pipe length and design it what controls the db level of exhaust noise.
Will my Vehicle Exhaust sound different??
In many cases the answer is yes. If the exhaust tip has a larger ID(inside diameter) than the tailpipe you are replacing. The larger ID Outlet will act as an echo chamber and will enhance the exhaust exit sound.
Will my Vehicle get better M.P.G.??
No, not very likely. At best an exhaust will improve your fuel mileage by just a fraction of a percent. Improvement will come by better exhaust flow and exit.
Will it affect Vehicle’s Manufacturer Warranty??
In 20 years experience of building and installing custom exhaust systems I have never seen a manufacturer warranty be voided because of exhaust work from the MUFFLER BACK. There is an exception for the 2007 and newer Ford and Chevy Diesels. Because of the new manufacturer emission setups, changing any part of exhaust can void warranty.
Will this Fit My Vehicle??
There is no data available to look up vehicle OE exhaust specifications. AACo does have a helpful page to help you determine what tip is correct for your vehicle. View Link Here.
If you ever walked up to your ride and noticed you had a flat tire. You will wish you had an on board air system installed on your vehicle.
Assured Automotive Company has a complete line of VIAIR On Board Air systems in stock. AACo will know what fits your application and your needs.
What type of vehicle are you installing the VIAIR System on and what are your needs for the system?? Those are the 2 most important questions you will be asked by a knowledgeable representative at AACo.
When Air Systems range in price from $190 to over $600 there is no reason to install a system that is overkill. On the other hand, you do not want to be underpowered.
VIAIR On Board Systems are great for supplying air for inflating tires, but can also be used to operate a pneumatic impact gun for removing the lugs. It doesn’t stop there. You can use your VIAIR On Board Air System to supply air to a set of train air horns. Do you have air bag suspension for slamming or overloads?? You will have plenty of air for suspension needs. If your4x4 has air lockers of course you will also have plenty of air for them too.
Assured Automotive Company supply’s VIAIR Systems for many commercial uses also. Systems for vehicle tow services to mobile detail service that use the air supply for blowing water from crevices on the vehicles they are servicing.
With VIAIR On Board Systems ranging from 120psi to 200psi and from half gallon tank kits to 5 gallon tank kits, there is a bit to be considered. Remember your needs for the system and possible future needs when picking out the correct VIAIR System for your vehicle.
Are Train Air Horns Legal For Use In Autos?? That is the question Assured Automotive Company is asked many times each day by potential customers.
As to date there is no Federal U.S. Law in the books making possession of a 152+db Train style air horn on a highway used vehicle illegal. Although many local ordinances do have excessive noise laws. Most ordinances have this law effective after sunset.
If an individual uses a train air horn recklessly, that same individual may be harassed by law enforcement officers. Assured Performance Air Horns can be up to 152db loud!! That kind of power can literally shake the ground. That kind of power can also startle a person and will spike their heart rate.
It is great entertainment for many to shock sidewalk users by blowing the BEHEMOTH Train Air Horns and watching them jump out of their skin. However, common sense needs to be used when doing this and it is NOT recommended by Assured Automotive Company. There has been rumors floating around the web of terrible situations with pedestrians and air horns. Stories of bicycle riders darting out into traffic after being blasted by one of the massive Train or Truck Air Horns.
These Air Horns can make your vehicle a safer place when driving down the road. You can make fellow highway users aware of your presence. They even will help when wildlife is in the middle of the road you are traveling. The sound of one of these horns usually will send the wild animal scampering off the road.

How will you know if which exhaust tip will fit your car??
This is question that is ask many times by potential Buyers of exhaust tips. While many websites use an application guide, they suggest exhaust tips that are hardly ever correct for your application.

Know your tailpipe size
First off you will need to know your exhaust tailpipe O.D.(outside diameter). You do this by measuring the diameter of your tailpipe. Now that you have that measurement, you know what size inlet I.D.(inside diameter) you need in an exhaust tip. For example, if your tailpipe has a 2.25 inch O.D.. You will need a 2.25 inch Inlet on your exhaust tip.
Assured Automotive also offers T-304 Stainless Steel Reducers. If you like the exhaust tip, but the inlet I.D. is not the correct size. Installer can use a reducer.

Between the slow economy and high gas prices everyone is trying find a way to save money. Installing an air suspension kit may help you do just that. Driving under load is when you use the most gas and spend the most money. If the loads you are moving are part of your livelihood, then you definitely want to take every step possible to save as much money as you can to improve your bottom line. Here are a few ways that an air suspension kit can save you money by improving your gas mileage.
Safety
This is a little off topic, but safety is every driver’s concern. An air suspension kit can help to level out the sag at the hitch. This puts you in firmer control of your vehicle. Adding an air horn to your vehicle will help you keep other driver’s ‘heads up’ and help you to avoid an accident. Avoiding an accident is better than finding out how good your insurance is.
Reduce Sag And Sway
One of the most common issues when you are towing a load is the sag at the hitch. This sag contributes to a few of the driving problems that can cause you too lose gas mileage. The first problem is that the front tires lose firm contact with the ground. This decreases the amount of steering control that you have. Next, the sag allows your load to sway at highway speeds. An air suspension kit levels your vehicle so that you are in complete control of your vehicle and decreases sway. Each of these issues demands more gas and, when eliminated, will help you to improve your gas mileage.
By simply putting you back in firm control of your vehicle and load, an air suspension kit is able to save you money on gas. While saving money is always important, safety is even more critical. These kits increase your safety by leveling your vehicle out, again. An additional accident prevention tool is an air horn. These horns are two to three times louder than their factory cousins. Increased control and making your presence known may prevent you ever being involved in a costly accident.
The main reason to add an air suspension system to your car or truck is safety. Air springs add lift to the towing area of your vehicle to improve your control and ride. Here are a few situations that an air suspension kit can eliminate.
Sag
How many times have you hooked up a trailer or camper and there is a sag at the hitch? That sag leads to some vehicle control issues when you are at highway speeds. You can eliminate that with an air suspension kit. The variety of setting available can help you level out loads of varying weight. This also eliminates excess sway at speed.
Headlight Aim
Occasional campers, weekend boaters, and now-and-again haulers all run into the same problem. When their vehicle is under load the headlights point up into the air. If your load is heavy enough to unbalance your vehicle, then the front tires are not securely on the ground and you lose a certain amount of control. An air suspension kit levels out your vehicle, aiming your headlights correctly and reestablishes full contact with the ground for maximum steering control.
Rough Ride
As vehicles age, springs get a little stiffer. When you are carrying a load, there is not as much play in the suspension. You may even have trouble dragging your tail pipe. Air suspension kits will help to take some of the strain off of old or overburdened springs and smooth out your ride. Once it is smooth, maybe you could put a new exhaust tip on without worrying about dragging it off on your next job.
An air suspension kit can prevent a lot of wear and tear on your vehicle while it adds a measure of safety to each time you are hauling a load. Now, a suspension kit does not have to necessarily be practical. You can use on to get that little bit of lift you want for the rear end of a project car. Add the kit and an exhaust tip and you have a little show as you go. The best thing about these kits and tips is that they can be installed with tools you should be able to find in any garage.
When people think of air horns, they usually picture a can with a plastic horn on top that they can carry into a ball game to show support for their favorite team. At one time that may have been the only type of air horn available and the only possible use for it. Today there is a great number and variety of air horns available for your vehicle with many different uses. Here are a few of the most common uses for a modern air horn.
Old Time Feel
There is a certain nostalgia associated with the old time aooga horns that we connect with the cars from the 20′s and 30′s. These air horns put a finishing touch on a restoration or can be a great way to add an air horn to your golf cart. They are louder than the average car horn, easy to install, and will turn heads wherever you go.
High Noise Areas
Areas where there is heavy construction. Dense traffic zones. Crowded industrial parks. These are all areas where the noise level can drown out a standard horn. Air horns can do two things for you in these situations: they give off a blast of up to 152 decibels and have a different sound than standard horns. A louder blast with a different sound will stand out from the background noise that all of the other drivers are doing their best to ignore. Grabbing that little bit of extra attention can be the difference maker that prevents an accident.
Add Character To A Restoration
When you are completing a project car, you want to feel that it will stand out from the others at a show or in a parade. How do you do that? A lot of people are chopping the roof, dropping the car, and putting on excellent paint schemes. The little touches are left. Musical air horns or just one very loud air horn could be the way to go. Either way, you are guaranteed to stand out in the crowd.
Air horns are almost a forgotten game day accessory, but they are still a vital addition in some driving situations. On other occasions an air horn may be the difference maker for a project vehicle. Whatever you use them for, enjoy your air horns.
Usually they are the last touch when a vehicle is customized. An after thought to some, but usually a necessary addition to hide a bare metal blight on your car. An exhaust tip can be that crowning touch. The last little thing that needs to be added to give your project the feel that it is done. They can be used to add a look of personality or used in combination with an air suspension kit to give a flashy look. Here are the two most common reasons that people add a new exhaust tip to their vehicles.
The Usual Suspect
First and foremost, people add a new exhaust tip to give their car or truck a customized look. Everyone want a personalized touch in the vehicle that they are driving. Some people take that desire to the exterior of the vehicle as well. After market valve caps for the tires, air suspension kits, and exhaust tips are a few easy do-it-yourself modifications. The Chevy bow-tie, a heart shape, or powder-coating to match the color of your car are some of the hundreds of options you have in an exhaust tip.
Clean Up Your Act
You have seen them, the cars that have the soot buildup on their rear bumper or just behind the rear tire. The worst are the exhaust systems that are run through the rear bumper. Any number of things could have happened: tail pipe fell off, factory extension rusted away, or the rear end dragged and pulled the original exhaust apart. Whatever happened, that black soot stain is not an attractive feature for your vehicle. An exhaust tip, though decorative in nature, is a great way to extend your exhaust system an extra few inches to avoid the staining. Granted, they do require a small amount of tailpipe to be in place, but they can be an inexpensive way to save your paint job. If your car is dragging on driveways and bumps, you may need to add an air suspension kit as well as an extension to your exhaust.
The exhaust tip is usually the first thing a young kid thinks of to add a little something to their car and the last thing added to a project car. Thoughts may move to air suspension and valve stems later, but the exhaust tip is quick, easy, and inexpensive, but always important.
