Default cme dilemma
alright guys the SOM will soon be getting the cme installed,but I have a dilemma with it. should I
A-install the original CME dual tips and get them chromed(xtra 180.00 to chrome)

or

B
sell the original slp cme tips and get the single dual tip(beefy tip ) I personally really like this tip since it make the car look tuffer it will go well with the tall valve covers i put in and maybe a big cam or F/I in the future.
i can try and sell the original tips for anywhere from 300-400. the single tip is 350.00 it come in a 2'5"" or 3"

here's some pics of what it will look like.

original cme
(a)




or
single 2''/3'' cme tip


(B)



this is what it looks like on a SOM

I'd go with A. Original design and sleek. I don't dislike the single but I think the dual tips flow better. It'll look good however you go.

The single tip one looks okay but I'd just chrome the factory piece.

cromed or not, original style gets my vote. although the single 2.5 is pretty nice as well.
