Default Muffler Tip suggestions

Anybody have any suggestions for what muffler tips would work really well with this?
Apparently the previous owner has no eyes and couldn't see that these looked terrible when he replaced the entire exhaust system with a stainless magnaflow and some sort of headers... haven't figured out the brand yet.

there are bodykits all around. I'll check to see if there's any paint damage where they're attached.
Either way I'm going to have to straighten up the rear bodykit.

I'll look into photoshopping some mechams in and see how they look.

Yeaa, think that would be your best bet. Im not really into body kits for Camaro's, but the other rear kit where it's all a complete opening is better and dump the tips or get Corsa Tips...

You could keep your rear valence and just cut the middle divider part out of it (the part between the tips) I think that would do you a world better! And try looking into Corsa Pro Series tips even though my suggestion may be partially biased.

I agree there ^^^

If you keep the divider in there it would be cool to have some custom tips made up that match the contour.

What'd be the best way to cut the middle off?
Just dremel it or something like that? Or is there some special way to do it without screwing anything up too badly?

I do not know "for sure" but I (and I say "I") would use a dremel; BUT do it at an angle in which you will not see the cut standing behind it (the rear). Also you can "mask off" a line with painters tape that will A.) give you a good guidleine, and B.) keep the paint and clear from chipping. Just my 0.02 of what I would do but with all these Techies on here someone might know better than me...

I'm pulling the body kit. there's paint underneath it.
But, I'm thinking the car is too loud with the LTs/ory/magnaflow catback... so I think i'll get tips when I get a new catback. I'm thinking a hooker to quiet it down.

All the adhesive separated on the kit, it is kinda melted where the driver's side exhaust tip is right now.
plus, the front and sides of the kit are kinda messed up... so there's not a lot of reason to keep the kit. Plus... it scrapes going into my driveway.
yes, i did even try going at an angle and such.
