You have to see the tips from the top to tell there is a right and a left. There is a subtle angle to the tips. My car is in storage or I would take a picture to show what I am talking about. The dual tip has 1 pipe that sticks out farther than the other. The longer pipe goes on the inside - closest to the license plate.

There is no substitue for the real deal, they do look great but as noted many times before you do need to switch them, mine has a L & R tip

This is what Afterthoughts is selling and what he has. Take a good look at. Each side is the same length.

I know what comes with the Corsa catback system comes with. I have one. My point is if you buy the tips alone they are not the same as the ones in the catback kit.

thunderdan i commend your effort, but, i can clearly tell from that pic that the pnes on the outside on boht sets are a little longer.

i love those tips but $350? you must be joking right! ill try ebay or clones myself 350 is like half my roll cage or an hid kit. The most id be willing to spend on tips would be $100

Ok. Hey Sam! Go a head and switch them. Please post some pics when you do. Matter of fact, take a picture of them directly from above when they are laying on the ground.

Seriously am I the only one who can see the difference?!??!!

It is the angle the pic is taken from. Even the pic thunderdan posted shows the difference - you just cannot see it as well.

By the way, I don't think there is a better tip for a T/A - of course I am biased.

I know you can tell now, but try not looking at the ends of the tips. Look at the distance of the welds from the chrome tip, to the Y, the distances are different for each individual tip showing one sticks out slightly more.

THUNDERDAN74 is right i was lookin at them and i also thought at first they were on wrong, but then i ask a few of my friends to look at them, and they are all the same lenght its just that the right tip is on stright and the left one is on a little twisted, so good eye thunderdan74, and when i got the tips i stood them up and took a pic and both tips lay flat
