Default should i run tailpipes on my dual exhaust?

had them dumped for couple months now and love it .but i miss seeing some nice chrome tips out the back on the Ta..how big of a difference will it be if i run tips as in sound wise here is some clips of the car as it is right now 2.5 inch xpipe with dumped vforce mufflers

I can't see the videos (at work) but I imagine how awkward the rear bumper of a TA looks without tips, or even a straight pipe.

Run your TDs out the back and throw some Corsas on!

corsa premium tips are 300$, thats a f***ing exhaust. You might find some nice stainless tips on the magnaflow site for a little cheaper and theyre really nice...

If you run them out the back, expect a splatty sound under part throttle. There is no avoiding it. When you put the tail pipes on, go under the axle, and put flanges on the ends of the mufflers so that you can remove them when you want. I'm GLAD I did. Had I not, I would have cut the tail pipes back off. I use them for long trips only.

If you decide to run the exhaust http://www.chromeandperformance.com/ sells corsa knock-off tips. They're smaller than actual corsa tips but they still look pretty good.

I don't think TA's look too bad without tips but they obviously look a lot better with them.
