    Default Oval tip exaust, opinions?

    Just asking since I haven't seen many, so what's your opinion on them?
    Wank factor or not?

    oval?? as in the shape that came on every vt that wasnt a executive.

    theres heaps of them out there man, quite common, but depends on the exhaust cut out in the bumper if they will look good or not

    I was looking at the Calibre ones on the SCA site, they're on special too so I'm thinking of putting one on.
    With future exhaust plans I was gonna put a twin 3" dump pipe on, but since I'm always the different one, why not put an oval tip on a wagon?
    Never seen it around before..

    Edit: Link to tip.

    Each to their own, I could always buy one and dummy fit it, if it looks terrible I can just take it back.

    Single straight cut piece of stainless in the same size as the actual exhaust or GTFO. Why lie?

    This has got me thinking, and it hurts..
    Buy a universal muffler from here that has a single inlet-twin outlet and make the pipes myself..

    Oval tips are far too common and have not seen one on a single car that looks good with it. Twin tip all the way.
