Default Which tips should I go with?

Getting ready to install a Loudmouth II catback on my TA. My woman says to keep the tips that's on it. I have a set of 3.5in x 18in long stainless steel round tips in my building that I thought about using. All while a couple buddies say to go with the dual/dual tips that came with the system. What do you guys say?

WHATS ON IT


SLP Dual/Dual


3.5in Round Stainless Steel

Oh wow. Now I feel dumb. Those were on the car when I bought it. Just figured they were a factory tip. I've always been a Camaro guy, so TA's are still "new" to me.

The SLP tips are nice, but they look small on a T/A. I say sell what you've got and pick up some 3.5" or 4" Corsa style dual tips.

Yea the first ones almost have a mecham look to them. The slp tips are some of the worst looking catback tips imo. Ebay corsa style tips are very popular.

Try to find some quad tips that are at least 3" diameter each. Mine are Magnaflow, came with my catback.

^^^ That's the only way to roll on a TA as far as I'm concerned, that's always a timeless and badass look. Those ovals look pretty nice, but not as nice as big quads like those!

the slps are too small , single round looks fine on camaros but not trans ams , either keep what you have on there or get corsas or corsa clones.

I'd say out of the 3, stick with the oval tips. Otherwise I would say Corsa Clones. The SLP tips I dont like the look of due to the large gap in the center of them.
