Default Angled or straight tips
I'm finally going to finish up my one off exhaust and need to decide on tips. We're going with double wall SS tips just like the ones used on the corsa exhaust systems. I've liked the style and they are easy to clean. Should I go with a straight cut or a slant cut on the back? The tip has to be a 3" inlet.

Angle cut Looks more aggresive.

Have you ever seen the Daytona tip from Corsa? West Coast Corvette sells the muffs with them and I love 'em. Bought a set in the begining of this year. Happy Vetting...

I agree angle cut is the way to go. They flow with the rear fascia of the car better. Also I would only do 2 tips, not four.

I'm not really a fan of 2 tip systems, the two tips basically double the airflow out of the tips and you get some weird sounds due to it. IMO, Four tips cut the airflow velocity in 1/2 and sound alittle deeper at idle.
