I like the cannons a lot better, than the ones you use to replace them. I think the car look great with any one of those though. I just installed a magnaflow with those tips and was actually surprised how much I like the cannon tips lol.

Exhaust tips are like a4 vs m6 or camaro vs firebird.... it's all personal preference. I've had so many different exhaust tips it unbeleivable. Recently I had the magnaflow shotgun tips, then switched over to the corsa knockoffs, but I think I'm going to be getting the slp powerflo with those tips in the original post. I go back and forth and change tips like I change the brand of beer in the keg in my kegorator.

I like the new ones better but the old ones weren't bad looking. Bottom line though tips always look better on TA's, so it's harder to make a bad decision.

These slp tips are very similar in size and shape to the factory t/a tips, they are just polished, which is nice.

I have a slp powerflo on my car with these tips and love the way it looks and sounds.

I like them both. Hang on to the "old" ones, you may want to switch back. My tastes change a lot. I'm "wishy washy" when it comes to wheels and exhaust tips.

Sorry to be off topic, but you're running E85 at 570whp???? Yikes!

Does it run any better/worse with E85 compared to 93? That is considering it's tuned for it

Why Yikes? E85 is one of the best fuels for boosted cars in my opinion. Can't go wrong, its 105 octane at the pump. What do you mean by run better/worse? It runs the same to me and yes its flex fuel and yes its programmed for it.
