Gawdy, ..., find something else, ...
(Hey! I'm allowed to speak my opinion!)
GMMG makes some fine lookin' tips, ... (Right Dawg?!?, ...)
Mecham tips are also good lookin', ...
But wait, yer wantin' them for a Camaro application I suppose?
Hmmm, what looks good on the Camaro? SLP Center Mount!!!

Good Luck!

I saw a late 60s early 70s Monte Carlo with those tips. Didn't really care for it, pretty lame IMO.

Do not get the bowtie tips! Not for a Camaro!

I bought a pair for my Camaro and after a while I had to go back and remove them. I paid an exter 50 bucks to have them removed and install another tip, plus the new tips.

Also I wouldn't put 2.5 inch tips again on my car, performace draps with 2.5 tips.

Again, I had those exact same tips, and from experiance they don't belong on an LS1 and the sound is changed a bit with the bowtie tips.

I've seen them on many cars. From farther than 3 feet away, they just look like the tips are crushed. Looks dumb IMO.

All I ever see them on is broke-down trucks and old POS cars. They just look too cheap for a F-body.

Man, ya'll are harsh! I have them on my car, they came on it. I personally don't like em and I'm taking them off or cutn em down. If you like them then you should get em and not care about the opinions.

Just my 2¢

My dad and i test drove that car a couple of months ago when it was at teh chevy dealership...my dad said its at another one now.

It had a bad grind on a WOT shift. Also the hood was cracked. Found out who previously owned it a while back, and he had a couple of small wrecks in the car. NICE looking car from 20 feet though!!!!!!!!

My dad juuuustt about bought it too.
