Question Exhaust Tips for my TA.. Post your pics!!

I have the Magnaflow exhaust and the tips aren't the best looking ...

So, I'd like to get some ideas on what you guys have.. and what'll look good on my TA, so please post pics of your exhaust tips...

Also, would I need a different inlet size [ compared to the common 2.25" ] to fit the Magnaflows ?

Thanks!

Most any exhaust shop can adapt any size tips to fit your exhaust cheap. All you have to do is ask.

My current setup is corsa premium tips on an SLP loudmouth:

My old setup, same as my brother's, SLP loudmouth with fasttoys.net dual dual stainless tips, look alot like the corsa. I may swap back to them too, I haven't decided yet. I still have them sitting in my garage, because I know i can sell the corsas.

That's how I wanted them the day they were done. Of course I have been known to change my mind . Right now I'm liking them where they are. Sort of used the pics of Ron's (Silver02TA) setup to help line them up to start with.

I can tell you my tips do scrape.. because the car is lowered [DMS + Konis] .. right now I don't care, but once I'll get some nice tips.. it'll be a painful experience!!

Thanks Thunder!

I haven't scraped any with these tips, but their previous owner was not careful at all LoL. The car was also wrecked so that may have had something to do with the scrapes too. Thats why I got them so cheap; I had to repair them. They were scraped all the hell, but now you can't tell

My car isn't lowered yet, but will be soon. I have the pro-kit in the garage just waiting on my revalved bilsteins to get here. I dont think I'll scrape from what I have read, and these are the LT1 springs so it will only be 1.5" drop max. I already could scrape if I wasn't paying attention. Seems like the roads in the south are really bad to have drainage dips. I hear from my motorcycle friends that its not nearly as bad up north. Hey at least there's no salt on the roads down here lol.

I dont know about them being inter-cooled tips, but Borla offers 2 styles that I know of. Single and quad octagon shaped tips. I have those quad tips on my car also. Looks extremely nice

Will the Fattuoys tips with the 2.25 opening fit the Magnaflow? I really like those tips.

I was going to put these on my TA. I have never seen them done before but i know they fit perfect. I held up an original on my car. They are left and rights from Escalades. Look soo damn good. I would cut the inside pipe out though. They match the curve of the bumper perfect!!

They have a 2.5" inlet so you would have to take them to a muffler shop to have them mounted. Probably cost you 20-30 bucks.
