Default wanting opinions on exhaust tips

Thinking about getting exhaust tips, wanting the community's thoughts on tips.
Do you like the straight round or the bowtie style?
I'm also trying to decide if chrome to match the wheels or black to match all the black on my Monte.
I will appreciate all feedback
Thanks
here is a pic of some black bowtie ones

Hi `Shawn,
I like them both & I think it has to be a personal choice on
what you really like the best.
You could get both and change them depending on your
mood
The bowtie style is unique and Chevy.
There's a lot of options out there to choose from.
Personal preference is the best choice to me.


Good Luck & let us know what you decide `OK

Chrome round tips always add a nice flare to things, but the black bowties would really give the car its own unique look. Being somebody that pays attention to detail on Montes i think the bowties are pretty dope. Good looking car.������

Magnaflow makes a beautiful 4" round. I think it fills the bumper perfectly!

I do like the way that looks with the bumper lines, are they only a weld on?
Is it 4" length ?
I did think the bowties I saw on a 06 or 07 seemed to stick out a bit too far for my taste.

yeah, I'm torn between the round for the body lines and the bow tie for the wow factor I got when I first saw it on a 06 or 07 Monte

I have seen these on the Car and they are really sharp, there is also a double tip for each side I attached a photo.

Thanks everyone for your input, I think I will try to talk to a guy down the road ask if he can work with the 9" length and cut and weld it the way I'd like it to follow the body line.
if he can tuck them in so that the crimp starts right at outer edge of bumper and only the crimp sticks out, that might satisfy both my desires ..... the black bow ties I'm considering are $53.00 for the pair (listed as bolt on or clamp on) the other one that has my eye is the flow master bolt on 4" long

flow master is one for price of two, but no labor costs
