Default Factory CME or Custom CME????

I got a 00 NBM SS and right now I have the SLP one peice rear valance with the SLP Quad tips, which I get a lot of compliments on. I've been thinking about getting the factory CME tips. I like my quad tips because I haven't seen a lot of people with it, but I also like the factory CME look. What do you guys think looks better? I have pics of my current setup, but I can't figure out how to post em on here because they're too large to attach. I can email the pics to you if you want me to. Tell me what you guys think.

Given the choice between the two, I prefer the factory CME over the quad tips. The factory valance seems to flow better with the lines of the car than the more pronounced style of the quad-tip valance...however, I have never seen the quad tips in person, only in pics...just my .02

i think the quad tips look terrible, and i think the factory tips look better than any exhaust rear-section on the market.

Im the opposite. I think the stock CME flows with the lines, but it doesnt give it any edge. But then again, i prefer dumps or dual outlets on Fbodies lol.

Mark had the Quads with the newer valence, flared in instead of out, and they looked great!.....very sweet IMO......I'd keep the Quads........

I've had many compliments on my current setup now, but I've always liked the look of the dual tips in the middle. I saw a picture on this site of a guy who had the quad tips with the once peice rear valance and I've loved the way it looked so I got it. I don't know, keep the comments coming!

IMO, you already have a great set up. I prefer the factory CME, but I do not think I would swap out a quad CME for another CME.

I would swap it out with the dual CME. They look cleaner IMHO.

I ditched my CME tips and have no regrets.

I kinda like my CME setup I have now, but everytime I see pics of the factory CME, I'm like damn I want those tips! I think I will keep the quad tips for now and maybe in a couple of months I may swap em out for the duals. Thanks for all the comments guys!

i had the complete opposite...the factory CME with the quad tips ground effects. needless to say i didn't think it looked too good with the factory CME. i just installed the right valance and it finally looks like its supposed to. i think the quad tips would look good with the factory valance, but the opposite is DEFINITELY not true.
