Default Tips for a LS1 TA? Pics?

I got my duals put on a couple weeks ago and right now all that is sticking out the back are two 2.5" pipes and it doesn't look so good. lol. Now I need to get some tips and take it back to the guy and have him put them on. I am looking for something not too horribly expensive. I would like it to be a double tip with 3" outlets (kinda like my old Hooker, but higher quality). What could I get that matches that description?

Also, if anybody has any pics they would like to post of a TA with good tips that you know what they are I would love to get a look at them on the car before I buy them.

Thanks .

I think you might be thinking of the mecham tips.

that sounds familiar....be great if someone had some pics for this cat....

i like the tips that fill in our stock spaces on the bumper...anyone can have round tips, just camaros but having something that fits nice just for our cars makes us different

I used to love the way those looked... but too much money... lol

Now when i look at those I think I would rather have non-angled tips. I like the way the Hooker tips look, I just don't like the quality of them. Mine were kinda oval shaped too instead of round...

Anyway, any other ideas?

Are these the cheaper tips that you guys are talking about? I was just looking on ebay and found these and they appear to be the only ones like this on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-STA...mZ280102653835

If that link isn't working they are item number: 280102653835

Edit: I just noticed, it says polished stainless and triple chromed?

I am interested. What are the dimensions of those tips? The outlets look smaller than my Hooker tips. I liked the size of those. I believe the were dual 3" tips that almost were touching. They just about filled up the hole in the back.

These are the Mecham tips. I think they're the best looking tips for a TA. You can get them from the Mecham site for 70 bucks for each tip.

I have a set from him and they are worth every penny. I bought them as a christmas present to myself lol. After these you wont want another set. I had a set of straight cut instead of stepped like corsa's and it looked stupid in my opnion without them stepped. It looks like they disappear into the bumper.
