Default Which tips look better?

I like both of the Mecham cast oval tips.







I just need to decide between the 6" x 3" or 7-1/2" x 3" tips.
This will be going on my Formula. Personally I think the wide 7.5 x 3 ovals look great on a TA, but the bumper on a Formula doesn't have as defined an opening. I think the smaller 6 x 3 ovals might look better, closer to the stock exhaust tips.

What do you think?

In terms of their hood, yes.

Their tips on the other hand are quality from what I've read. The small tips are barely larger than the stock cast aluminum oval tips, and I always thought those looked pretty good.

I really like the center mount exhaust on a camaro, almost makes it look like a vette. Would you lose any power from that?

i don't like those that much to be honest. You can see the holes where it branches out and it's kind of a turn-off. Dual/duals, rectangulars, or singles look way better IMHO.

They kinda resemble the GMMG tips I think....KINDA. I like long recangular oval tips on camaros. I really like the center mount exhaust too, but thats wicked expensive like GMMG.
