Default Corsa Extreme Exhaust 3.5 or 4.5 in tips?

I would like to get the 4 in but they are no longer available. Between the 3.5 and 4.5, what do you think? I'm thinking the 4.5's are too big?

My stocks are 2.5" and I saw lazerlemonta's NPP over the weekend and those are 3.5". I thought they were the perfect size. I think you would be happy with 3.5" and I may think 4.5" may be a bit big in a quad setup. If they were converted to just two it would probably be good. 4" would be nice and shame it isn't available anymore. My Camaro had 4.5" on it, but that was a two tip system.

IMO 4.5 not too big...just right....I could not find any pictures before I bought mine...so I took the plunge and went with the larger tips anyhow. I've had the 3.5 corsa on another c6 years ago and always thought they were just a little too small...You can decide. good luck.

I stand corrected. That looks very nice. I just hadn't seen 4.5" out the back on a Vette, that I paid attention to at least. I would still probably prefer 4", to have a bit more gap between the two pipes on each muffler, but that looks A OK.

Mine are Xtreme w/4” and if yours are 4-1/2” I can’t tell much difference. Regardless anything smaller is to small.

I agree they don't really look bigger than four inches... But hey, you know the saying..

I just installed the 4.5" Corsa Xtreme with the anodized black finish tips. They have the pop of the chrome when the sun hits them, but match my black accent theme perfectly...

Strange that Corsa offers the Sport in 4.5 but not the Xtreme.

Makes no sense at all considering how tame the sport is...

I assume it may have something to do with the round can size but the next thing it'll probably be out.

No they don't. It's quite misleading. While the description shows 4.5 the actual checkout shows 4.

I recently upgraded my 3.5 Xtreme to the 4. Wanted the 4.5 but no such luck. The difference between 3.5 and 4 is huge. My 4" fills up the tip area with little to no gap between the inside tips.
