Default Tip or no tips?

I pulled my tips off my LM to clean, it only took an hour to remove the right one!
I think I'm gonna leave them off and throw some turndowns on for the sleeper look. What do you guys think?

Honestly I like the look of Camaros with turn-downs or dumps at the axle. Unless they are recessed into a body kit I think tips just look out of place sticking out from under the car.

I think they'll tuck up under the rear valance pretty well. I may experiment just for the hell of it, if I can get them up high enough I think it will give it a cleaner look. As for the sleeper effect I know it loud but around town its not too bad.
Thanx for the input!

+1. Unless you've got CME, tips just look out of place on Camaros.

I know! At least when I'm on the highway or at cruise its not too loud. And if theres a cop behind me it won't look hot rodded and maybe they won't want to mess with me.
