CME is the best looking in my opinion. If I had gotten a SS instead of my WS6 I would have gotten CME. Although I do like the look of the Magnaflow, but Im biased thats what I have on my TA

I don't know why everyone likes the CME so much. I personally hate the look of tips in the center of the rear. Unless they're dumps and you can't see them

I like them cause they have that lower valance and the tips fit in smoothly with the valance. Otherwise I really don't like how the regular exhaust tips just stick out in the rear and don't fit into the rear bumper at all like they do on the TA's.

I'm actually glad that this thread came up cause I'm getting ready to change my tips from the fake corsa duals to either turn downs or singles and I havn't been able to decide which one I want yet.

Yeah i'm all for the clean look myself. If i could have a valance similar to the slp, but with two notches for the the stock style exhaust....i'd be all over it

You are on crack!!!

CME on an SS is pure sex, wish I had it. But like you said, different strokes for different folks.

I like the looks of Corsa BUT the whole system weighs soooo much. One day at MTI we weighed ONE tip and it was 11lbs!
Plus everybody I know that has ever had Corsa, the baffle in the muffler broke and rattled like BB's in a coffee can.

Peace,
Craig.

IMO the absolute best tips on the Camaro are the magnaflow's. Quad tips are rice and the CME thing is OK on vettes but personlay I think its ulgy as hell on Camaro's.

Single rolled slashed tips are what best on a car that doesnt make provisions for the tips. Thats why so many people like the CME. You have them recessed and they look like it might have come from the factory that way. Quad tips looks like a ricer trying to be fast. Quad tips loook good on Birds but not on a Camaro, I've hated them since the beginning.

Magnaflow 35171 is the part number

Nice and cheap, but you might want to find some stainless tips. Those are just chromed steel...and will start to rust faster. if you ordered a LM it should come with a choice of stainless tips.. the singles like the ones in the link or a dual dual set-up

Yea my muffler did that. I reached in with a pair of pliers and pulled the rattling part of the baffle out.

I don't agree....i like the look of nice big round chrome tips comin out the back. Not a fan of dual/dual on Camaro's though.
