Stock, Mecham, or ??

Here's a Photoshop I did... Are there alternatives to Mecham tips that are less pricey or look better? Do you guys have better ideas for tips on my car? Right now I have a stock WS6 round tipped exhaust.

Updated:

1. Ractive chrome ovals
2. Mecham ovals
3. Magnaflow duals (look like Corsas to me, but with less of a gap)
4. Z28 style tucked high

What I have now:

I don't think the Mechams work well with the firebird bumper. It seems more fitting for the TA bumper. With that said, I think a nice set of dual tips tucked up high would look real nice.

When I had the mechams I think they flowed very well with the W68 appearance, but if it doesnt have w68 then i dont think it would look as good.

I have corsa clones now and I def like them better

Is that because the Mechams don't extend out very far or did you notice something different? Still not too sure about how Corsa clones would look...

Here's some pics of the Mecham Formula:

id have to say get mecham or oval tips, since its a firebird bumper. corsas might really look out of place without t/a lower bumper. havent seen that though...
