Corsa Clone tips won't easily work with Borla catbacks! If you have a Borla catback, these are difficult to mount to your system!!!
Public Service Announcement.
I had to take a set of exhaust tips back recently from a customer who wanted these on his Borla catback.
It turns out that the Borla tips are a little over one inch longer than the Corsa clones. The Corsas are 9.5", and the Borlas are about one inch longer. Jokes aside, this poses a problem when dealing with an inferior exhaust shop, that doesn't know how to work with metal. (if needed)
With no problems, I returned the money within 2 hours (paypal) and the customer is totally satisfied with the service. You're welcome Snapps.
Here's some pictures of the tips as retuned... if somebody wants these for $100 shipped be the 1st person to Pm or call 678/492/6843
Even the welds are polished!

I have a borla exhaust, I recently bought these tips and had them put on my borla set up, they look flawless, its all in the work of the exhaust shop, it just takes alittle more bending of pipes and some tweaking, my guy had me good to go in about an hour, and they look awesome. I originally had my borla tips clamped on, so he took those off, did alittle measuring and some bending, and everything lined up perfect, most places will just look at that senerio and not even want to touch it, but a good exhaust shop will tackle that with no problem. So it can be done.

Just going off his caution I decided to let Borla owners know of a potential issue. Just one of those customer service type things...
So you got the Corsa Clones huh?!

That's really good customer service!! As the owner of a real Corsa exhaust though I am not happy that someone is making knockoffs of Corsa exhaust tips. The reason Corsa doesn't sell them seperately is to prevent them being put on other companies exhaust systems so that they appear to have a Corsa exhaust. It's sorta like putting a SS hood on a Z28, a clone is a clone.

These tips are very nice though. I almost thought about buying them to put on my Corsa as i only have the Pro tips, but i guess i should just polish mine up to look like that.

How could you say these are cheap? Have you ever seen these in person? And just judging from the photos I posted can you really repeat your comment with a straight face?
Don't get mad because you paid big bucks for an overpriced exhaust with overpriced tips. The Corsa muffler/system isn't GOD's gift to exhausts you know.

Its really is funny though, Corsa is a cheaper exhaust than Borla! Youre tips look amazing and the craftsmanship is very high. I think that if the tips look good, just like rims, then why not have them available to anyone that wants them to make their cars look good.
