I like my Silverline tips. They are like corsa clones. Only they have that small inlet as well so I get really skinny piping at the end leading to the tips and it looks like ****. I love the tips tho. I'm trying to get borla and I will probably say screwbit and run the afterburner tips bc I'm tired of my exhaustnlooking like ****

I ditched the Borla "intercooled" tips and installed some real Corsa tips I got a great deal on.

The inlets come in 2.5" and 3" as well which are what most of our STOCK and AFTERMARKET catbacks are.

Necking down to 2.25" at the end of the exhaust seems pretty silly to me...

Yea, you have a point. I want big tips that I can actually see and have them fit well... I'm sure a local exhaust shop around here can cut and weld these for like $20. How much longer will you have these in stock? I read about how you are winding down the business, I would hate to see these go before I got a chance to get a pair.

Mark I think you sold me on your tips even if they are $100 more. Any chance of getting more 2.5/3.5?

I have some back ordered for people, we're 3-4 weeks out. Even that shipment was limited though so you'd have to pay now to get on the list (by "now" I just mean before they come in or they'll be spoken for)...

I'll change my ordering page soon to reflect the different sizes, in the meantime if you order just put the size you want in the note...

Well I placed an order today...I don't really need to be spending $150 on tips right now but I don't want to be SOL later down the road.

How will I know when you get them back in stock and they ship?
