I just finished painting my T/A this past Sunday. It was a pewter color. I still have some detail work to do, and Trans Am emblems to put on. Its been a long week....

Do you have any better pics like a shot directly behind the car? I wanna see if they have good flare to them from straight on looking at them. The side shot looks promising.

Those look really nice in the above pics. Im going today to get my drivers side cut 3 inches and pulled a bit more to the center since its too far to the drivers side. Looks a bit off to me and not liking the look.

Finally today i got them both fairly centered and looks alot better. The drivers side comes out about a quarter of an inch more but not that noticable at all. I think i have a before pic and ill take a after pic to post it up in the next couple of days.

I just ordered the 3.5" the other day. If I get them on by saturday I'll post some pics. The 4" just looked a little too big, the didn't tuck into the bumper enough for my tastes..

That's because the stock catback is off-center. I'm not sure why, but GM kicked the whole catback over to center their off-center stock tips Makes no sense whatsoever to me, you would think it would be better to center the tips to the catback not the catback to the tips. The result is any normal exhaust tips are not centered, as you noticed.

yeah... i figured that out after I got tips installed on my stock catback.

I 'm going to try and heat up the exhaust pipe and bend it to align.

Before:



After:



Its not a huge difference in the pics but in person it was, so im alot happier with it now. The passenger side tips are more dirty then the drivers side not to mention the way the sun is reflecting off them make the passenger side look further in but there pretty much spot on to each other.

Isn't 3.5" the actual size of a real set of Corsa's.
