I will be getting my Hooker catback Fri as well. IMHO the tips that it comes with look great. I'm not a fan of the large single round tips like the magnaflow comes with. On a truck yeah, car, no. Just my.02.

thats what i was thinking to. this is my second hooker catback, i had one before i went True duals. i had the dual tips and they looked pretty good but i've seen some borla tips that are pretty hot, but i want some opinons before i shell out the extra dough for those.

Use the Hooker D/D tips. Those things look awesome. But if you decide to go with something else, I'll gladly take those off your hands.
