Default Keep My Magnaflow Tips (And Polish Them) or Get Corsa Clones?

I want my tips to match my Chrome rims, So I feel like I'd have to do alot of work to make them look close to chrome...

If you know of any products that will bring the shine out of my Magnaflow's... PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!

Or should I Just get a set of Corsa Clone's from 6Litereater, and have them fabbed up to my Magnaflow exhuast?

Not really worried bout sound diffrence if there is any, because my cutout is open 90% of the time...

Heres the rear end of my Bird with Magnaflow Tips...

Tips look a little... Crooked... in your pic?

I had planned on having the tips end about a half inch back from the edge of the bumper...

corsa clones are nice but they look kinda small. They probobly would look good on the formula rear but with the T/A they were a little to small for the cutouts on the bumper. i had the clones on my car and then bought the same thing but there a bigger diamter outlet. instead of 3in they are 4 and they fit perfect with the rear. got them off ebay. They look exactly like clones just bigger

i always preferred the 4 tips on the back for the firebirds.

I agree, I was going to go with 4" clones just cause i'd rather have bigger than smaller... But the 6Litereater clones have 3.5" outlets... Which I think is Perfect...

I'm assuming you are on the side of ditching magnaflows and going with Corsa's?

got them from Brent Franker. There the silver. If you go to his site you can find and buy pretty much any type of decal you can think of. He has a lot to choose at very good prices.

scroll down about half way for the firbird stuff

yeah i dont like the magnaflow tips on firebirds. i have a magnaflow catback and the first thing i did was cut the tips off and replaced them.

definately corsa clones. Magnaflows look too simple on the already super simple rear of the formula.

Corsa>Magnaflow all day

PS. Is there purple paint in between your rear bumper and tail lights?
