Lightbulb Favorite style/size of exhaust tip ...

I am sittin' here bouncin' around Magnaflow.com (MagnaFlow Exhaust Products - For Trucks, Suv's, American Muscle, Diesel, & Sport Compact Vehicles), & am see-sawin' between a few different styles of tips for my 2003 SS.

I know I do want ROUND tips, ... not oval, square, etc., ... but slash cut, rolled, ...

And what final diameter? Is 5 inches obnoxious? If so, would 4" still look like a tuba? Ugh!

Another "option" I know I am looking for, ... I want the "weld-on" type.

Let me here about what you folks have, have had, want, like, hate, or if you would rather go "tip-less".

4" rolled magnaflow tip is the best

I have 3" round, rolled end, slant cut tips. The slant is 15% so nothing too much, just enough to add a little extra. I'll post a picture once I get home on my computer.

Mine were part of the GMPP Cat-Back Exhaust System (which is discontinued, but definitely just an unbranded Magnaflow)

I would definitely stay between 3 and 4 in diameter and rolled, anything bigger is just obnoxious for this car... and also I would recommend stainless steel will last longer and looks just as good but thats just my opinion.
