I own the clones and to be honest, I can't really see a difference in size between these and my clones. I would have the dude put a ruler next to them to prove they are 3.5". Even if they are, the outlets still don't have much of a flare like the real corsa's. Without a big flare, from far away, these are just gonna look like thin walled tips which is just how my corsa clones look from far away. LAME

I got some of these from JustanIlluzion (or something like that) here, and am just waiting for them to arrive. I'll put up some pics when I get them.

These are definitely different than the Corsa Clones I got from Chrome & Performance (Joshua). The eBay tips are all polished stainless, whereas the others are polished stainless w/ chromed “end tips”. These new tips are an interesting find.

The 3.5 ones in this tread CORRODE in 4 months...

The older 3 inch ones last for years....

I used to be a sponsor here... check the trader rating for proof, and have sold to (2) people in this thread who bought the 3.5 inchers and weren't happy.... they now have the problem-free 3 inchers...

*For Your Information*
