Default **UPDATE** Contemplating different exhaust tips.. Opinions

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.


My old 97. It was an LS1 swap, but totalled



What my small Corsa clones looked like:


And what it looks like now:





**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 ***** 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.

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. I like those tips.
