Exhaust appearance ~ need help

Hey everybody,
I've had 3 sets of tail pipes on my 96 Z and I just can't get the look that I want. I have a Flowmaster AT Catback system on, and the pipes angle upward after they leave the muffler, and then kick down under the valance. I'd really like to have that Berger, or GMMG look, however GMMG won't sell just the Oval tips without forking over the big bucks for the whole system. Anybody know where I can get something Similiar. Could you guys post some pics of what your using for exhaust tips (alternate styles as well!!!)

Thanks!!!!

Thanks man! I'll check around and try to find something for ya...you said you were looking for something close to the GMMG tips that are offered with the exhaust for $150 extra? The oval ones? I believe Mecham makes some tips just like those but they're lipped...

Yup, I really like the GMMG oval tips that for for the extra Buck-fifty. I'll check on Mecham's web site to see how those look. If my memory is right, the Mecham's are a true oval, while the GMMG's have rounded sides but are perfectly flat on the top & bottom. Thanks for your help, bro!

Do you mean those oval tips?

Cause up hear in canada a regular muffler shop like minute muffler or midas carries those tips, there a bit cheapo looking for me.

A nicer higher quality oval exhaust tip would be reactive.

I'd like to stay with something higher end than your typical midas muffler shop type stuff. The quad style like sandman has looks fantastic. (BTW, the car itself looks perfect, Sandman.)

I don't mind the Mecham tips. They look pretty good. What do you guys think.....6 inch or 7 1/2 inch? Maybe they are too "ricey"....I dunno.

I can tell that most people on this board (including myself) have spent a ton of jing to make their ride look "just perfect". The flowmaster tailpipes and 'turn down' exits don't do not give the car the right look IMHO.

Anybody got pics of
TOTL
Dual/dual
megaphone tips
round
square
oval

Also- looking at how the tails fit the car. Too far apart, too close. too high, or low, stick too far out, etc.

You guys are great. Thank you for the advice~
