Default Best tips for a T/A?

I am going to be getting in on the GP for GMMG, but want to shop around for better tips before I fork over an extra 125 bucks for tips. What tips, if any, look better and are cheaper then the GMMG oval tips for a T/A? Pics and places to buy would be greatly appreciated.

Not many tips are gonna look better then GMMG on a TA. I put Ractive's in my place of my slash cuts on my car. Looks much better. I can get you some pics later. Lemme know if youre interested.

Edit- Pay no attention to 2.25" inlet, its 2.5"

Got some Mecham tips sitting at my house now. Just waiting for my springs to come in so I can put them on and then install the tips and put them where I want. I love the way they look in the pictures, but after seeing the tips in person and holding 'em up to the car, they'll look even better. It'll definitely fill the 9" cutout in the bumper perfectly!!

I would get the GMMG tips no matter what just so you can see them in person. They are amazing! If you don't like them, I am sure you could sell them for over $125 here on the boards because you can ONLY get those tips when you buy the catback! Could be a sound investment. That was my original thought...but I loved them so much on the car I kept them!

Kev98Ta,

Would definately like to see those Ractive tips on your car. I'm actually considering buying those for my car. And they REALLY are 2.5" inlets? I emailed that company to ask them about those same tips and they never got back to me.

Corsa Pro Series Premium 3.5" Rolled Tips are the best, IMO.

Here you go... Sorry the cars a little dirty here, we've had alot of rain here lately.

Inlet size is 2.5", Im positive!! I measured them as soon as i recieved them. I popped my old LM slashcuts off, and slid these right on.

I'm thinking of these tips. What does everybody think? 4.75" wide. Would they be too small in the rear bumper spaces?
