Default Are exhaust tips needed

Just curious since I am getting a tsp rumbler but no tips....

Would it look bad like that? Are tips really needed?

I've got the same kit and love the sound. Does look odd with nothing in the back though

I'm a big fan of no visible exhaust on the Chevys. Without a valance of some sort it always looks out of place. Tucked and dumped gives it a really clean look on the back.

I was thinking about the TSP rumbler for my TA. Only difference for the TA is the valance for tips.

Coming from the truck world, Exhaust was always pretty simple. I would cut the stock from the muffler back, weld on a muffler and a turn down... done!

Cars are a little trickier. I am not a huge fan of pipes on a car. Except for the old fox body mustangs. I always thought the pipes looked great on those cars.

I believe that I will keep tips with my TA just to keep a semi-stock look out the back.
