Default Which Tips??

Ok, as i stated before im the type that want's to get all the thing's i plan on doing to car w/ prices now. Then start going after the part's piece by piece as time goes. So i plan on changin my exhaust system sometime in the future. I just dont like the look of the Catback system. I would much rather have Tip's on it. I was thinking of getting some Dual Squared Corvette Tip's that my cousin has on his SS but after looking at em a bit more. Im not really liking em all to much, well from a side view im not.

I like the look of the Dual Borla Squared tips, but i dont like that lil **** thing that you see inside em. So that kinda draw's me away from those....Im not really all into the Oval tips look, but if there gonna look good on my car. Ill do it.

Which tip's would you guy's recommend i go with?? Drop me some site's, where i can get these tip's & prices on em. You can even post a pic of your tips as well. Im also kinda trying to decide if ill go with this style system or go after the CME Centered Exhaust. This will help me atleast, with the Tips decision.

CME would look best.
but if you dont want to add the extra trim then go with Dual Corsa clones

NO TIPS!! put a turn down on the ends and tighten the tailpipe up so you cant see the exhaust from the rear.

Even though you don't really like the dual ovals, I'd say, go with the 3A Racing 62-2507 3-1/2" stainless dual oval tips. They're often referred to as the "Autozone tips." If you search that, you'll find quite a few different pics of Fbodies with them. I just got 'em for my car. I need to make some adjustments to get the tailpipes perfectly center. So, it looks a little off right now. But, I really like them. And, as far as stainless tips go, they're very cheap. $32 a piece (http://www.amazon.com/3A-Racing-62-2.../dp/B000CRAV4Q). Or, if you go to Autozone, they may still have a couple left. Then, you can get them for $23 a piece. Here's a couple pics of mine.

borla dual dual system i think you can get between like 3" - 4" tips or something. i think they look baaaaaad. i have american racing long tube headers going through borlas adjustable system. from what i understand it sounds very nice and loud with h/c/i (i haven't driven it yet).

Those are the exact tip's i was talking about, i like the squared look of em but just not really into the part inside of them. Ive seen a black LT1 Z28 here with those tips though. Does look pretty good, but a damn high price for those tips lol
