I have the quad tip MagnaFlow exhaust on my Camaro. I love it. Everything fit well and the tips are of very nice quality. I'm not a fan of the "cannon" style.

It is worth 200 bucks IMHO. Shop around, you may be able to find the cat-back part number cheaper. Those Magnaflow quad tips are nicer and noticeably bigger than the Corsa clones I have and seen others with.
I put a Magnaflow cat-back on mine before they came out with that part number. Never liked those tips. The angle on them just didn't seem right and they didn't come out far enough.
Also, I have not seen Magnaflow sell those tips individually. Buy them with the cat-back or you're **** outta luck in getting the same ones later on.

Pics. I need to move the muffler a bit to the right for it to be perfectly square. It was close to perfect yesterday, but after driving it for a bit it shifted slightly. I shouldn't have to make any more adjustments though, as both tips are a just a bit to the left. I will be an easy fix. I love the sound so far! Also need to do the CETA mod first thing in the spring.

i have the cannons. They came on the car, I dont like them at all. I will be running tsp duals with spiral flows shortly. I dont mind the empty slots. And as you can see keeping the whole time clean tends to be a pita.

For anyone else trying to chose between the 2 Magnaflow set-ups, also consider that the single tip cat back comes with old-school crappy exhaust clamps, while the dual-dual comes with band clamps. No idea why they do it this way, but I'm sure that affects cost as well, and band clamps are a nice feature to have.

Yes, the band clamps are great. Also, the fitment of mine was top notch...I just need to spend a little time moving the muffler to the right to make it perfect. Also, my tips are not pointed upward at all...they are very parallel to the ground. Sounds like the single tip catback is just not quite the same quality...you would think that it would be the same minus the tips.
