Default Ractive Oval Tips?

Hey everybody I have done some searching on these and haven't really found what I was looking for. I am looking into buying a TSP Rumbler and I like the idea of the ovals like the GMMG, but my car is Maple Red so with that color i think the black chrome tips that you get through TSP would look

So, if you would, I'd like you guys to prove me wrong by posting some really good pics of the Ractives on Trans Ams

I'd appreciate if I can see all of the Ractives y'all have even if they aren't black chrome. I'm set on ovals.

Thanks, Justin

they don't give you a choice to select a different finish?

Nope. It's either a magnaflow oval (don't know what the heck these look like) or the ractive smoked oval. But they're a little high on their ractive price anyway.

Thanks for jumpin into this for me lol.

I was goin to call them cuz their site is not real descriptive. Maybe somebody who bought a rumbler with the Magnaflow tips can chime in also. I just want to make sure that the Magnaflows are not a dual oval like they have. I want a single tip that'll fill up the TA bumper lol.

I have the Magnaflow ovals, IMO they look a little too skinny on birds to fill in the area on the bumper. Im switching to GMMG ovals some time. Heres a pic:
Sorry its not a very good one.

Youll def like the rumbler exhaust...I have had mine for 4 years now and everyone asks what it is and how badass it sounds. I have square tips,like on c3 vettes. Fills up the cut out nice.

I REALLY like the color of your car. And that is a pic I was looking for. It looks good, just not quite full enough as you said. Very nice car though. Wheels go very well with the color too.

Do you have any rasp up top? I've heard a few bullet mufflers on youtube (I know it will sound different in person) and I like the idle, but when the revs get high they sound different then others. I'm sure they scream at WOT, but I like a toned scream lol not an almost raspy scream. Don't know if that makes any sense at all.

Its a rumbler too so i guess i can answer your other question. Just the catback with stock manifolds/Y, it has a nice, deep tone and no rasp at all. Actually was a little TOO quiet for me. With headers and ORY, its very loud and gets pretty raspy from about 2500-4000 RPM. Some people tell me it sounds good tho. I like the loudness just not the rasp. Im switching to a sweet thunder muffler.

haha well you probably just made my decision too lol. I was going to buy the rumbler and put a powerstick in it right off the bat lol. I'll prolly do that now after hearing your opinion. I'm stock manifolds and all but I REALLY like the chambered sound.

Well EAD Performance is the sponsor that carries them. So I'm goin to probably go through them. I'll PM you another site, they aren't a sponsor. I haven't really compared prices between the two because I just found EAD performance.

Google Silverline Exhaust tips. There are some nice and beefy oval tips they have for a pretty good price. I was going to go with the dual's but decided on something else.

From what I saw the Silverline oval tips don't come in 2 1/2 or 3 inch inlets.
