So I ran some 3" Corsa clones on my duals for awhile, I got the small ones, and they didn't look right. Currently I'm running duals dumped with turndowns. I am planning on putting some dummy tips in the spot of the bumper. On my old 97 I had some Magnaflow dual oval exhaust tips. They looked great when clean, and since they will be dummy tips, I'll never have to worry about them getting dirty again. They are $140/pair tips, and I told myself I wouldn't buy them again. Well, I think I want to.

I really don't want to put more Corsa clones on my car, because nearly every Fbody has them. Tell me what you think about these tips on my car.

I've never seen another car with these tips. So this would probably be the 2nd car with them.

**UPDATE**
UNVMYSS and I worked out a trade deal. I gave him my Corsa clones, and I got his Magnaflow dual tips. Worked out great!!

In my opinion, something is better than nothing on the trans am rear fascia. A friend of mine had the large genuine Corsa tips, them shits barely fit in the slots.

If you had a Camaro I would recommend the CME, those look freaking sweet as hell. But I like the look of the quad tips out the back, remind me of the Corvette in a way. I liked the look of your Corsa tips.

Look at the single wide tips like the GMMG ones from 6LE.

I'm wanting to keep a dual tip, but I have considered single ovals in the past. I'm just not a fan of the GMMG ovals.

What about the b&b triflow or the magnaflow dual tips?

I love the B&B Triflow tips. I just can't find any!

And these are Magnaflow Dual tips btw. :jest: Magnaflow Dual Oval Part # 35169

I think they look good. If you are looking into oval tips the Mecham tips look great as well.

Here are the Pypes ovals I had on my first WS6.

If not those, stick with some big o'l corsa's, had them on my last TA and I loved them.

Unvmyss, PM sent.

I like the Mecham and Pypes ovals, but I'm really interested in a dual tip on this car. I like that Magnaflow dual tip with the rolled edge. I just really liked these quad ovals on my old 97.

I think I like the 3.5" Corsa clones better, but like I said, I'm not interested in Corsa clones anymore.

Either way I worked out a trade deal with UNVMYSS to trade for his 3.5" Magnaflow dual tips with my Corsa clones I got. :thumb: I like those tips.

Corsa clones definitely look great, but everyone has them, and I like to have something different. I'll be happy with these Magnaflow tips for sure.

You should do the CETA mod...

05-02-2012, 05:09 PM
No way! You cannot paint over SOM! I had it on my old silver 97, but I can't do it to this car! Even so, it doesn't look good on SOM.

He has one of the only birds that look perfect without the CETA mod. And without the black sail panel

Well I did have pipes ran out the back if you look at one of my original pictures with the Corsa clones. The only thing is with the pipes ran out the back, it made the sound too mild for my taste. The dumps give it a nice rumble and depth. So I took them off, but hated having no tips in the bumper. So I went with the best of both worlds. Dumps and tips! :)

I definitely like the look of the dual/dual exhaust on a T/A. I hope you don't get too much of the wrong kind of attention driving around with those dumps.
