granted the Corsa tips are twice the price of the already expensive Mechams... but when have each in your hand, you see why they cost so much. the quality can't be touched by anything else available for our cars.

I couldn't agree more, I was shock and awe'd when I took these out of the box... even though they were scraped up on the bottom and had to be re-polished. They add alot to the back of the car

Quality and Mecham don't belong in the same paragraph.

I'd say niether for the pice, but the Corsa look better. Here is a cheap alternative for chrome dual tips. Prolly not the same quality as the Corsa but hey better looking that stock or what I have....single non-polished slashed tips that belong on a V6 more than a T/A

I voted for the Corsa tips. By far my favorite but I'm way too cheap to spend 300 on tips so I went with the 35 dollar single stainless tips from Summit.

Yes, my car is filthy but it's been too damn cold to wash it. This weekend it is suppose to be 70 so it will get washed then.

I just bought some Escalade tips. The look similar to the Mechams but with a bit more angle. They look sweet. I'll post up when I get 'em mounted.

I don't like Mechams because they are too tall, end up hanging to low from the back. I think they look ok nestled in the bird fascias, but I don't like them on Camaro's at all.

Corsa's look good all around, so long as you don't mount them sticking 3" out from the bumper.

Buying them straight out, I'd actually go for knock-off Corsa's. They're even just a hair smaller, which I like.

fyi I have corsa pro from my kit, and like 'em lots. But $300 standalone? eek. The whole catback was 600. Seems to me Corsa needs to make a "Ghetto series" tip and give us a $400 catback option.
