I have Megs tips, but not the duals. I have the stainless rolled edge ovals on my Z. I can vouch for their quality - it is beyond top-notch.

Thanks. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Mine are the 5595C tips. They're 4.75" x 3.5" angled ovals with a 2.5" inlet (Hooker catback). I like that they're clamped on as well. Made for an easy install. I got them from Thunder Racing. I think the pair was $87 to my door. I'm very pleased. The stainless is polished to a mirror chrome finish - it's hard to tell the difference, and these will never rust. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Thanks for the info. BTW, how do you like the hooker system? I'm about to order this catback in about 10min actually. I removed my loudmouth and shipping it off tomorrow. Just too loud in addition to my macs/orp. I've heard the hooker sounds mean with this setup.

One of the guys in our club has em. They are actually really nice. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> He has an 01 WS6 with dual duals (4 tips total).

Those pics above are more from a straight-on POV.. wish I had some better pics. This one is from an angle, but you can still see them.

98blackSS, as far as the Hooker catback goes, not only is it a bargain, but IMO, it's the best catback on the market. I don't need stainless in this climate. It picked up 16.4 rwhp on the dyno (same day dyno, so it's as accurate as it's gonna get). I still have yet to see another simple catback change dyno that high, even the Loudmouth. I really couldn't be happier with it. I guess my only gripe was the original tips, but I fixed that. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I have those Meg's tips on my WS6. They fill up the fascia pretty well...not like the Mecham tips though. I like them. BTW, I also got mine from Thunder Racing.
