Corsa and B&B Triflow tips are among the best looking and most expensive out there.

i've got some black chrome 18" Ractive tips, only problem is they're so low key you can't even see them unless you're on the side of the car.

Magnaflow tips are pretty cheap, good quality, and very shiny. Check out summit racing, that's where i was looking the most for tips.

Thunder Racing sells Megs tips. I had the ovals, and they are very high quality. They have about 5 or 6 different options for tips.

Damn, those are expensive. That's what I have on my T/A, didn't know they were that much. I'll try to take some pics so you can check 'em out.

My quad oval tips from B&B look awesome. Everyone compliments me on them. I bought it with the whole system though.

yeah i like the B&B tips, do they sell them seperately or do you have to buy the catback to get them? i also like the lm slash cut tips. i might just sell the whole lm/xr1 and get something else.

If you can afford to do it, CME is by far the coolest looking. Only problem is, you'll need to get that skirt thing or it just looks tacky.

CME looks really good and all the other ideas are good too. the problem is i just bought a xr1 and thats not cheap and then if i got expensive tips i could have gotten a whole new catback. is there anything that is somewhat cheaper that i could run?

The CME is okay but, you gotta have that skirt to make it work and, IMO, the skirt makes the rear end look too heavy. I prefer the Corsa premiums… I guess that's why I got them.
