Default corsa clones??

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...284607610&rd=1

Was looking for some exhaust tips & I found these on ebay. Anybody have these? They look like corsa clones. I need to get some as the magnaflows that are on my car look like ***.

Yea those tips do look like Corsa Clones. Idk if they are though, but they look pretty good. That's a great price for those tips too.

those are not good Corsa clones. The angle on the tip edge is not sharply angled enough at all.

Your current tips look good, just let the inside of it get dirty that way you just see the chrome oval.

Dont worry, those tips will be gone. They just dont look right at all with that lil round outlet in the middle. Most everyone else on here has said the same thing & I agree.

think about it. the tips are about what....3" wide? the pipe going into them is maybe 2" round. So the tip has a flat back to it. NO tip will look good with that flat wall being all shiny. So you let that inner wall get black and you won't see the wall anymore, which will make the oval opening of the tip look better.

Default exhaust tips

Ok, I didnt go with the corsa clones. I ordered some Magnaflows like these.

They have a 3 1/2 inch outlet, 2 1/4 inch inlet, but available in 2 1/2 inch inlet. I will post pics of them installed.
