Question Opinions wanted on tips...

Ok i want to replace my 3.5" LM tips. I love the Gmmg tips, but since i dont own the system i probably wont be able to get my hands on a set. So here's what ive been looking at-

The closest tip i could find to a Gmmg set are these. They're '70 Mach 1 replacements. They're availiable in stainless as well as chrome (shown).

Next is a set from Lawson Industries. Part #55157, all the way at the bottom of the page. These are stainless as well.

Last is a set of Meg's from ThunderRacing. The Dual outlet tips, similar to the ones above. These are also the most expensive.

With those options, what does everyone think will look the best popping out the back of a Trans Am. If someone has links to sites with more tips that would look good, post them up. I dont like what Stainless Works has to offer, so forget that. Thanks!!

If you look under appearance & detailing, I posted "Chrome quad exhaust tips" looking for some new tips. I just found what I was looking for from lawsonindustries.com P/N 55150. Thanks a lot buddy for posting!! I think those are the best hands down.

at first i ordered my gmmg without tips and was about to go with magnaflows but didnt want to deal with the 2.25 inch inlet so went ahead and ordered the gmmg tips with the 2.5 inch inlet. 150 bucks for tips kinda hurts but love the look
