Default Exhaust tips for Trans Am with 6LE diffuser

I finally ordered (THE 1ST!!!) 6LE diffuser. I have Corsa clones and they match the stock shape of the rear bumper. However and I just don't know if they will match up well with the reshaped rear bumper from the diffuser.

Any thoughts???


For reference - new bumper shape (not my car):

I was thinking about the tips too. I have B&B tips and they fit snug in the bumper already and I'm not sure they will fit if I add the diffuser

I still think corsa/corsa clones will still look the best with it. Or maybe 6LE's oval tips?

I'd stick with the Corsa clones. Hell, I plan on switching to them anyway when I get the diffuser.

Yeah, the ones I have are the smaller ones. I think off of Afterthoughts. I am starting to feel like the order should be:
1. Get the diffuser
2. Get the Corsas installed at the right length
3. Go from there and hope I like the Corsas still. I love those tips!

Thanks, and keep any other ideas comin' if you've got 'em.

that diffuser is definitely legit, GREAT purchase. The corsa clones will look absolutely fine with it as will borla or some oval tips. 4" corsa clones not so much b/c there just to big for even the stock bumper IMO. and do not dump it, its a trans am not a camaro.
