Default cme dilemma
alright guys the SOM will soon be getting the cme installed,but I have a dilemma with it. should I
A-install the original CME dual tips and get them chromed(xtra 180.00 to chrome)

or

B
sell the original slp cme tips and get the single dual tip(beefy tip ) I personally really like this tip since it make the car look tuffer it will go well with the tall valve covers i put in and maybe a big cam or F/I in the future.
i can try and sell the original tips for anywhere from 300-400. the single tip is 350.00 it come in a 2'5"" or 3"

here's some pics of what it will look like.

original cme
(a)




or
single 2''/3'' cme tip


(B)



this is what it looks like on a SOM

The giant single slanted one reminds me of the tips you could put on in NFS Underground.

You could always try for the ZR1 / Z06 look:



I know it's an obvious chop, but it gives you a bit of an idea. Little different if nothing else.
