good luck finding corsa tips for a reasonable price. i managed to get a whole exhaust with the premium tips for 350. i think the pro tips sell for that much brand new.

the premiums are no longer available AT ALL... corsa discontinued them months ago.
just to give you guys an idea of what those went for... back in mid '05, i had a tip fall off the car (i didn't tighten it down completely i guess when i had the exhaust off while putting on the headers). it got beat up pretty bad, and the other one had some scuffing on it. the set overall was maybe a 4 out of 10.
i called corsa and had to provide documentation that i'd purchased the system from them before they finally let me buy new tips - $440 shipped.
i put the beat up ones on ebay, and they sold for $357 + shipping.
unless you want the premium tips, you're wasting your money by not buying the knockoffs... they look so similar that the nearly $250 price difference shouldn't even be a consideration unless you have money falling out of your ***.
if you want premiums, try poking around some distributors... but i doubt there are any left. your best bet would be to try to find a used system.

I can't believe how much Corsa has gone up in the last few years. I paid just over $750 for my cat back. Mine has the "premium" tips. They didn't even have the pro-series tips out yet when I bought mine.

I know what you mean I got my exhaust off of E-bay for $525 about two years ago with the Premium tips, in my opinion these are the best looking tips on an exhaust for either of the f-body cars. The tips could only be purchased with the entire exhaust, that is correct, and it is a shame they no longer provide this option. But like what has been said before if you are looking at the pro series tips I would say go with the clones, not only much cheaper but also look very very similar.
