Default Need Opinion (pics)

I had bought some new exhaust tips to try out. I was getting tired of the big space between my bullets so, I bought some SLP loud mouth quad tips and had them installed. I kept the bullets just in case and I think I might go back. What do you guys think?

Looks like you sawed off some BB gun barrels and stuck them out the rear of your car. The exhaust lost all masculinity right there.

Eek! The new tips are puny and cheap-looking! Enjoy the big tips and the space between 'em! Please!

My tips are custom on my Corsa Ti's. They're farther apart than yours, and I [still] love them!
