Default Corsa clone durability

Im considering getting these tips for my car, and I was wondering if anyone has run into any durability issues with these. BTW the ones I'm looking at are the ones from Chrome and Performance (~Joshua). Any info would be helpful. TIA

I also have these tips, I definitely like them. I kinda messed up one of the when I cleaned them but otherwise they still look good. I would buy them again, I just wish exhaust wouldn't cause all that black crap on the bottom of the ID.

I bought them and didn't like them. They were too small for my tastes. I love the staggered look of the dual tips and the edges of the tips themselves but overall, I was not happy with them. Plus, because the way the tips are made, the exhaust blackens the whole insides of the tips and when it get's black enough, they look penciled-tipped instead of double-rolled.

I have owned two corsa catbacks with the same type of tips on my C5's. They blackened as well. Whether they are Corsa's or Clones they blacken lol. But they look damn good when they are clean

I've had mine for over a year and this is on a car with a cam and no cat so needless to say the get black. All I use to clean them is 0000 grade steel wool, shines them up like new every time! No need for water or polish of any sort. Just use it dry and it will clean it perfectly.
