Something looks odd about your exhaust system in the photo you posted and with everyone spending time giving their unnecessary opinions, it doesn't seem like anyone else has noticed. What it looks like to me is that the two outer tips from a quad outlet system were just cut off and just left there open, or explain to me what the two round openings are to the outside of each tip that you have. I think more detailed pictures are needed to see what's going on there. It looks to me like some jerk just cut off part of your exhaust and left it like that. Your exhaust did originally have four tips, but four tips on any C5 muffler system won't fit in a Tigershark exhaust opening so the exhaust was butchered to fit in the opening. You may correct me if I'm wrong, but everyone was so busy voicing their opinion that nobody else noticed what I'm seeing. Maybe now that I've mentioned it others will see what I'm talking about. Better pictures please. BTW, the only four tip system that fits is the Corsa system for the Tigershark valance, but somebody did already tell you that. Just buy it, because I think you need new mufflers anyway.

I also noticed those "extra" holes that my friend Striper pointed out, but I got too excited by that silver coupe with the black halo and Tigershark rear.
With the engine running, do you feel exhaust exiting those secret holes? If so, get a new, at least axle back system on there asap. That's proof of the butchering Striper was referring to. My concern is that of fresh hot exhaust hanging around back there, partially held there by plastic body parts.

I'm sure there is going to be hot exhaust coming out of those tubes, possibly either causing exhaust fumes in the interior or melting the rear fascia. You need to either buy the Corsa Tigershark exhaust or check out the spacing of some of the two pipe only catbacks to see if they will fit. However, you did mention you liked the four pipe exit. The Corsa is what you want. This has made me remember something I hadn't thought about in a long time. At last year's Carlisle burn out contest, somebody's tires went on fire and when the flames hit the body the bumper started melting and dripping on the ground. I just happened to be walking past at the moment it occurred. Fix your problem soon!

if I could justify the $$$ for the Corsa Sport with Tigershark tips, I'd have them in a flash.Striper, do you think the Callaway "double D " would fit?
