Looks nice. I have stainless LT1 tips on my '94. They stand out more with all the round tips out there. Enjoy!

probably won't change much. Actually, it'll probably go down, but that'll be due to your right foot getting closer to the floor more often.

I think fuel economy would increase if you drove with MPG in mind, but I know when I got exhaust on my car I coudn't get my foot off the go pedal.

they are nice, but i thought having round tips would clash with my round tail lights. mine is a 1990 but on the round rears still.

I don't think they would clash with your tailights. I think round tailpipes would look better with round tailights.

Just my $0.02
