That is how my pipes are, I had thought that maybe the tips were removed or didn't have them. So did all cars, with out the N97 package all have tips on them?
Can't say for sure, there might be exceptions, but tips, mufflers and air cleaner are a package deal. Either or, poor Californians at the time had to put up with that crap, now most "people" there should have that package, lol.
