Default Pics of Exhaust Tips on a Formula?

I just picked up a 02 Formula Firehawk Sunday to be my new DD and its is bone stock as you can get. I know the "original" thing is nice but I am going to drive this car so I dont mind changing a few things (starting with window tint TODAY!). So I am trying to descide what I want to do about the exhaust...the factory twin SLP tips are just so gay I need to do something. Plus its quite as a mouse. Hell I cranked it up and even my dad said it was too quite. So instead of tips I am thinking of doing a catback....probably a Corsa or GMMG (I love the sound of the Corsa on my SOM car and the tips are amazing on the TA bumper).

Does any body have pics of Formulas with Corsa tips (clones would be fine) or any other tips?

I will tonight...I am at work and photobucket is blocked here. I just have some "teasers" of it on the trailer on the way home. It needs to be detailed and Zainoed...but its super clean one owner car. Its white with ebony leather and chrome Firehawk wheels. Its got the standard suspension so I am going to add the SLP/Bilstien suspension set up to it soon.

Looks good, but I dont know if my bumper has those notches right above the tips (I will have to look....it very well may). I guess Corsa's look good on anything!

Smoke Panther the tips on your car look good...still cant decide though. I think I am going to go with a cat-back. I just cant get over how quite it is. I dont remember any of my stock WS6 cars or my other 02 Hawk being near that quite.

Here are pics of the tiny factory SLP tips...

Corsa/dual tips look good on Trans Am bumpers only imo. mainly because of the way the bumper is designed. Thats why I chose to go with Single Outlets on my Formula. Not the best pic but its the only one I got atm with my tips showing.

Great looking car. I have the same style exhaust on my 87 Formula. I do love the TA wing on your car though...if I ever come across I white one I will probably swap this one out.

If you want to save a few bucks, you can just get the Magnaflow muffler and add the tips you prefer. That way you don't have pay for the truck cannon tips that come with the catback. The muffler only costs about $100 and the sound is just like the catback, plus you really don't lose too much performance (if any) since the stock pipes are 2.75 in., versus 3.00 in for the catback.
