Default Should I sell my Corsa catback?

So I installed a non-adjustable, dual outlet (not quad) Borla catback on my 2000 Z28. I got a great deal because Borla discontinued production of that setup. Well after I finished the install and went for a drive, it was rattling like crazy. I took it to several "experts" who offered to re-install the stock system for me, which was not an option in my mind. The rattle was so bad that I got fed up and bit the bullet, buying the best catback available (IMO): Corsa w/ premium tips.

...Well, that was a while ago and I haven't had the chance to install, or even open, the Corsa catback yet. In the meantime, the rattling has completely gone away on my Borla! The entire catback now looks and sounds fine. The tips aren't nearly as sweet as the Corsa and they rest a bit lower than I'd like, but damn if I can justify tearing it off.

My question is this: Should I make the switch or sell the Corsa?

Sell the Corsa and just take your car to a good/recommended exhaust shop and have the pipes coming out of the muffler adjusted so the tips sit where you want them.

I say upgrade and sell the Borla. The tips on those are just too ugly IMO.
