  • Which rear valence/exhaust tip option?

    So, I am probably odd in the fact that I actually like the way my SS/WS6 factory exhaust sounds. Not too loud, no drone. I did a hack job putting it on though (had to join the I-pipe of the one it left the factory with to another take-off muffler/tailpipe), so it's kind of cocked and the tips aren't even with the bumper.

    No biggie, I'd like to upgrade tips for aesthetics anyway, and I think I'd like to put a 6LE valence on the back. I don't want to go the CME route - there are two options I am considering:

    1) Dual Singles - probably a 3.5" rolled edge tip. Pretty much matches my factory setup, but adding the valence and increasing the size
    2) Dual Duals - would be using the 3.5" Corsa clone tips with the valence

    As it stands now (wow, I have no good pics of the ass end of my car!):

        This is a little more subtle than what Gary posted. Not sure why the opening look like they were cut by a 12 year old

              Now that I'm on my desktop PC, it does look to be photoshopped. But I think the overall look is great

                Now, that looks much better with the smaller "oval" tips. The ones Gary put up (the actual 6LE production pics) just look too big to me.

                The 'shopped pic Mike posted reminds me a lot of my '99 Grand Prix though:

                  Sweet! I'll keep that in mind. I won't be doing anything for a few months though. Car budget is nonexistent right now.

                    100% not what Gary and Mike posted, that looks terrible. Out of the two you pictured tho I would say the dual single, the dual duals just doesnt look right to me.

                      That rear valance makes it look like the car has a body drop from the rear.... If you held a gun to my head and made me choose I'd probably go with the dual dual and the Corsa clones.

                          I guess I should clarify I think the dual corsa clone tips look amazing, its just the valence for the dual dual that you posted that I dont really like. If you leave the stock bumper corsa clones would look awesome.

                            IMO 3.5" tips look a little too big, id go with 3" or 2.5" on a stock exhaust.
