Default One too many exhaust tips???

I was just going through some of the ads online and came across this.... Now while I agree that a C5 looks super cool with 4 tips and not 2 but 6????! LOL.... Sorry I think it looks ridiculous with 6 tips.

That's just plain stupid! I bet the middle two are just add ons - they even seem to stick out further than the other ones.

Actually if I remember correctly, there was a company that made a cat back that had six exhaust tips on it. It may have been SLP. And I agree, six tips just do not look good on the car.

Six tips are child's play! If you're looking to baffle, try 7.
