Default Borla tips....am I alone?

does anyone else think the F-body Borla tips look like complete steaming piles of

I saw 3 F-bodies today with Borla exhausts, and I just thought to myself...I would never pay $1000 for an exhaust system with those tips. I liked the sound, but it was detracting from the cleaniness of the cars.


anyone else in the same boat?

If i had a camaro, i think id have to get the CME done. I LOVE that look. I'm not a huge fan of my GMMG tips. They're ok, but i REALLY want the Mecham tips on there. They just wont fit on the GMMG.
