Which Tips for My Pewter Z28 I've never really liked the tips that came with my hooker catback, and now that I have a new job I thinks its time to replace them. I've been lookin into new tips for months and still cannot decide which ones I want to buy.
I have come to a couple conclusions however:
a) I dont like the CME.
b) I dont really think dual tips really fit on Camaros, although they are amazing looking on firebirds with the little notches in the bumper for tips.
c) I think, maybe because the Camaro looks bery wide from the rear, that most single outlet tips look too small.
d) I don't want to just dump them at the catback, because I have a bit of a bling them going with my car: DragonZ's Stainless Emblems, Chrome Wheels, Chrome Clear Corners, Soon to be stainless camaro rear fill-ins and painted calipers with brushed alluminum camaro Z28 decals.
I paintshopped my billet grille black in the pic but now its actually painted.
So here is what I think I'm choosing from:
1) Tips like Dv8Dustors are what I've been leaning towards.. Like the huge 4in. single outlet. But not really bling.
2) Chrome and Performance's single outlet are definetly bling, but I've yet to see them on a camaro and don't know if I will think the 3.5in outlet is too small. Would like to see pics while on a car.
3) I think the GMMG tips look pretty nice on Pewter Camaros. But I don;'t know how where to buy them from.
4) Though I think they are too small and dont really belong on a camaro the corsa and Corsa Clones look so damn good.
I'd actually like to see more pics of this car with them if possible.
All opinions welcome and appreciated. Thanks in adnvance. Sorry for the long post.

I like my Magnaflow catback and get lots of compliments about the appearance. These are 3.5" "tips", although they're not really tips, so much as straight pipes with a slash end. I don't see too many out there like them. I think the rear shot would be somewhat comparable to the Chrome and Performance tip look, but the side shot would look different, obviously. Maybe you could polish the exit tubes to match the tips?
And yes, one side was slightly crooked in these pictures. That has been fixed.

The one side of my exhaust is crooked on my Z now actually chupr0kabra. Gatta get that fixed.
I might consider the real Corsa tips if they were for sale... ACtually I wouldn't theyd be way too expensive.

For a Camaro I voted the 3.5 tips I carry. (you may think it's biased, but it's my honest choice if I owned a 'camaro.)
The 3.5 outlet size is in moderation, and the flare on the exit looks nice from side angles too.
