I like the stock rectangular tips personally. I also like the Corsa tips.

I bought Corsa Clones from i think a company called SS clones. They looked nice but you have different options. The pic below was my car, i got some flack for it because i welded them a bit further back, reason why i did that is on camaro's the side view doesnt look good with these tips becuase you can see them welded to the stock pipes and welding them a bit further back hides the welds and connection a bit more and made sure it didnt point down either like some ive seen which also looks bad from a side profile. This is not the best picture and these are 4inch tips. In my case i had to cut the pipe that comes out on the drivers side muffler to get the drivers side tips to come in more to the center of the car, it was too far to the drivers side and didnt look right. Maybe it was just my luck.

Ive seen people do 4inch corsa clones and it looks nice no problems. You can go with 3.5 inch ones if your concerned.

Dual 4" quads.

I agree though. The Mecham's on a TA are sick.

Depends on what size the exhaust pipes are that need the tips. Are they 2.5" or 3" ?

Their site says 6.5 and 7.5 inch power oval. They fit perfect in the opening. I will measure them tomorrow and give you the actual dimensions.

I'm a truth in advertising guy. If you have 2 1/2" pipes, 2 1/2" tips. If you have 4" pipes then 4" tips. Total rice is when you do like 1 3/4" pipes with 5" tips. Why have the tips larger than the exhaust?
