Default What would you do? ...exhaust tips

So like an idiot, I purchase corsa clones off ebay - the listing clearly says 4in, so does the receipt. I get them, mount them, take pics and brag for a month.

...i never once measure them until this past weekend...turns out theyre 3.5in. The seller apologized and gave a small refund.

At the same time, I have a friend with genuine 4in tips willing to trade straight up since he prefers the 3.5s

Would you trade?

Here's the 3.5s on my car now

I dont think you would see a big difference in the two. Did you look at your buddies side by side with yours? The real question is not for us but to you...what do YOU really like. Remember dont build your car to someone else's liking always build it to what YOU like. To hell with everyone else. Oh and by the way I think they look fine but Im a Camaro man myself LOL!!!
