Default Switching Borla exhaust tips for???

So just like the title says what are you guys using for exhaust tips on the borla adj catback. I would love to switch to something like what this guy has in this vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEl-zIvRLWc
Just wondering how people are going about doing this. I always hear people saying the borlas are ugly so I know somebody has switched them out. I basically want dual round tips, kinda like whats on the Hooker catback. Or the SLP dual tips but larger. Pics are welcome!

Corsa tips. The real ones are $$$, but you can get good replicas for pretty cheap. Check out 6LITEREATER Designs, a sponsor on here. They have Corsa clones for a good price. I'll be picking up a set myself when I swap to a T/A rear bumper.

EDIT: Here's a pic of phantomzero's car:

The Corsa style tips looks like they were made for TAs. 6LE has them on his site.

I personally love the Borla tips on my car. It's the most unique tip ever, and it adds a great style IMO. But, I am going to do a set of corsa clones when I get my GMMG on cause I think their oval tips are hideous!

The main reason I don't like the borlas is, seems like they don't stick out far enough and would prefer the dual round tips. They are unique though. So what I should be looking for is a tip with a 2.5"inlet or what? I need to paint this shiny washer that holds the tips up. It was like this when I bought the car. I really need to mess with the them and try to reposition them so they look better(if thats possible)

You could use U-bolts (not sure if that's what they're called) or clamps. I've got them on my car.

i wouldn't say they look like garbage, i just prefer most other dual/dual style options to them.

and if you look at a pair of polished stockers next to the GMMG tips, they look better with the car because of their shape. imho
