What's the deal with the MN-6 sticker?

Tips are too big IMO. They don't look right.

They are a bit big for my taste... but Tullis is right, it is your car and you are the one driving it. Buy what you like and not what everyone else wants you to buy.

I think the Mecham tips do a good job of filling in the exhaust recesses on the Firebirds. A single round tip just doesn't fill them up and looks out of place. You either need a dual tip or a wide oval tip. I personally prefer the GMMG tips. I think those guys pretty much built those tips to fit the Firebird. I have single 3 inch tips on my TA right now and it just doesn't look right with those wide recesses.

I don't know what's worse. The tips, or the fact someone put stickers on their bumper that says 'MN-6' and 'LS1/5.7'

that car was owned by somebody who sold stickers, you notice the plates? www.firebatscave.com is his website. It is a good idea to promote your business.

i actually like a pair of polished Z28 square tips on the T/A's. i think it fills in that body space nicely.

I never really thought of Z28 tips on a Firebird. Anyone have any pics of that setup? Curious to see how it looks.
