The corsa looks good but with your car I would stay with your current cme setup.

If you do the quad tips get some stock c6 ones so they are even. Corsa clones are staggered tips and may look weird.

Stay with what you got, and spend that money on something you need more.

It would look like a Corvette style exhaust if you did it. Wouldn't look bad IMHO.

^^^ well if i went to the corsa or corvette tips I was going to have emblempros make me a custom middle plaque like the corvettes and If I had the time and money I was going to try to get the plaque to have some sort of ambient glow of w.e. the plaque will be when the headlights come on. I dunno I was deff not going to cut up the CME pipes though because I do love them. Thanks for the opinions guys.

And sommer that car is where i shopped those tips from lol

He actually has the same idea to do a "corvette" type plate in the center..... but it never materialized.
