Default Trans Am Tips...

Okay so i got a Pewter 01 Trans Am WS6 and right now im running flowmasters with a plain pipe...

I was curious of what exhaust tips are popular to fill that tail box for the T/A?

I want something with dual tips that seems to look pretty nice.. my buddy said i should get Corsa Clones ( i think thats what their called), but I wanted to check here and get some other opinions from the other ls1 fanatics out there..

Btw, i noticed on the corsa clones the tips were uneven.. as in one sticks out further does that look wierd or what i have not seen a pic of them on a t/a yet so if you got a pic please post thanks..

Corsa clones will do wonders for your car...!
I got knock off dual duals... they look good, but corsa's just bring out the shine and good looks of a T/A

Corsa clones are definitely the popular choice. Many people like the GMMG oval tips, as well. Basically, your best bet is to get a rolled-edged tip, or something with a thick, slanted wall (like corsa clones). SLP dual/duals are also a nice choice because they're slack cut (both downward and outward to match the bumper openings). I went with cheap 4in rolled-edge Summit Racing tips and I get a lot of compliments. Here's a picture of mine. Take into consideration that I shoot flames, so I had to stick them out a little bit so I don't burn the bumper...

I like 3.5" slash tips on the T/A's.

I just have 3" pipe coming out of mine though.

I had GMMG until some asshat decided to steal one of them and couldn't get the other off this past weekend while i was at the Indy Bash... in the hotel parking lot Saturday night. GMMG won't sell me just 1, they'll only sell the set. They also got some guy's Corsa tips too.
