what krazy dan said

you canlook at corsa's site and see that these are offered.

afterthoughts auto is a stand up company. They wouldnt carry rip off merchandise. Heck, they carry alot of GM licensed products currently, and are in the works on more I believe.

To be sure you can call Corsa 1-800-486-0999 or email them, there's a link on their site. I got their system w/premium tips early in '01 - still look like new.

afterthoughts is the only place i know of to sell tips seperate.

the premium pro's cant be had seperate though. I remember someone saying Corsa said retail would be ~450-500 on those if they sold them through a retailer. Those that you are looking at are very nice, I have 2 friends with those tips. I had the premiums but sold them a month ago. I'm still kicking myself, because I've decided to go back to a catback style setup.

That's a steal compared to what Corsa would charge for them if they were sold seperately.

I can guarantee that they'd sell for more than the rest of the catback if they were seperate.
