Difference between TigerShark and Pro tips on Corsa?
I know the tigersharks are closer together in the center, but are they a different tip design as well?
I'd love to see photos of both for comparison sake!

I have the tigershark tips. The tips themselves are identical to the pro tips. It's the spacing that is different.
Tigershark= 4 inline equal spacing
Pro = 4 inline 2+2 grouped with space in between the groups.(stock look)
Also, Tigershark are not as common.
Get the Indy's with x-pipe,I did You'll love them

I have the Tigershark tips, and agree that they are the same.
More importantly, though, is that I GUARANTEE that you will not be able to keep the Tiger Shark tips perfectly aligned without constant readjusting. I have had mine installed for over a year, had them readjusted at least half a dozen times. Talked to Corsa numerous times, suggested that they make some type of clamp to keep them aligned, but all I got was lip service. At the Mid America Funfest, Corsa had a C5 with Tigershark tips, and even their demo car had the tips out of alignment! Finally, I had my muffler shop weld a small rod behind the center tips (out of sight), and so far they are staying aligned.
Good luck.

I've not had the same problem with alingment. The first 500 miles or so I noticed a little varaince. I re-tightened them and so far have had no mis-alignment after 2 years and 10,000 miles

Thanks guys! That's what I wanted to know. I had the indy GTR tips on pace #2...tips with Corsa have always had alignment issues...but then again, so have stock tips.
Once installed, I'd highly suggest having a muffler ship weld a pc of metal along the back top of the tips that ties the two sections together...I think it's the only way on some cars to keep them aligned...
