Default Exhaust Tips: Oval (GMMG) or Dual Round (Hooker)?
I'm planning on having the GMMG Cat Back installed by them when I go up for Atlanta G9, but I'm not sure if I will have them install their oval tips, or if I'm better off going with another route like Hooker's Dual tips on each side. I've also seen some Oval tips that look like the GMMG Style at muffler shops. What do you guys think??

This thread has pics of hooker tips: Hooker Tips

GMMG Tips

I'm not a fan of the "dual/dual" tips. Go with the GMMG.

My other option were the Ractive Oval tips.
Though they do not fill the gap 100%, I do like that fact that they have thicker edges on the end of the tips.

Corsa tips..

If not an option the GMMG ones are a good alternative

I say go with oval tips cuz they fill the rear out better. Plus it is an intimidating and aggressive look. Here are pics of my mechem tips. -matt- http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/698227

I'm sorry, but those GMMG tips are just awful looking, and cheap too. If you like the oval look, Mecham has that look covered. For Dual/Duals, go with either Megs or Corsa - 3.5" diameters

Corsa Tips by far if you have the money for them.

Pretty old thread. I've got a B&B Triflow on my car now and love it.

heh, i've had Hooker dual tips, Mecham tips, and now Corsa tips.. the Corsas are by far my favorite, but most expensive.

the hooker tips are not even noticable from 10+ feet away because they are so thin.

I like my stock Dual-Duals, but those oval GMMG ones are quite nice. I would say, since I can't see the Hooker ones, go with them lol

I ordered mine but didn't get the Oval from GMMG, I got the regular so I could get the Dual's...didn't like the angles on their ovals.
