I would have to agree myself, I don't know what size the chrome and performance tips are so I threw that out as an option. For the money, inlet and outlet size the SST ebay ones look to be a great choice.

Sometimes exhaust pipes move for many different reasons, causing the tips to not be centered, one to hang lower than the other, etc. Using clamps allows you to adjust the tips perfectly to your bumper and your preference. Even if an exhaust shop welds them on perfectly, a pothole or something else can tweak them. Once they are clamped on tight, the tips themselves don't move. The clamps are extremely hard to see unless your under the car, and I doubt people walk around with 13mm wrench or socket so they probably won't be stolen, just be aware of where you park/leave it.

Half an inch could be the difference between being satisfactorily pleased or completely and euphorically satisfied

I agree with all of the above ^.... in the first ebay link the tips are staggered which I think looks better as well.

Here's the pics of my Corsa tips. They sell for $425 + shipping and I'm asking $300. They're in MINT condition.
