No recs but keep us updated on the results and price. I've always contemplated fixing the ugly tips on my corsa. I usually just leave them nice and dirty to hide haha.

Ahhh I see.. they turn down a bit... whatever you pick just don't let them protrude the bumper a bunch... I hate that look, like they don't even fit the car. I actually prefer them tucked a little but that's my preference.

If you don't seal up the clamps well it can smell due to exhaust leaking before the secondary cats. I installed them and found it hard to perfectly seal, so I just took it to an exhaust shop the next day and they welded the joint without removal for $50...no smell.

By the way who installed your test pipes for you? would like to have them installed the same way as yours!

Thanks in advance.

I did it myself. Wasn't happy the the slip joint seal after adjusting it a few times (it was leaking slightly more than muffler weep holes), so I just brought it to an exhaust shop and they welded the seam in a few minutes without removing anything. This was back when I lived in Alexandria, VA.

Ian at IS Motorsports did them along with installing my test pipes. He did a great job. Planning to install a rear diffsuer in the very very near future.
