I didn't say I liked the GMMG tips. I don't like the tips. Corsa and Mecham tips own

click on exhaust and scroll down. I got thier twin rolled stainless steel tips for $85 a pair. Not per tip mind you but $85 for both and they are stainless steel. They also have the square dual tips that look like the borlas for $65 for a pair. And they have resinator tips if you want to quiet down your car a bit for any reason.

You can't beat the price and they look very sharp. Just a suggestion in case you are on a budget like I am.
I have those tips on my car right now. Love em, but love the Corsa more.

Thanks! Actually I don't clean the inside I only polish the outside. Don't know what the heck I was thinking. I should start cleaning the insides.
It would be kinda easy though because of all four pipes, only the two outside ones are dirty. The two inside ones are almost like new.

I would compare quality and sound as night and day. GMMG sounds so much better than Corsa on an LS1 it's rediculous. Also, GMMG costs less than the Corsa. The only thing that Corsa really has going for it are the tips.

Corsa= quiet,raspy, ok sound

GMMG= loud (but not obnoxious like loudmouth), clean and deep muscle car sound.

I personally like the dual square inter-cooled borla tips. They look very unique. They go very well on F-bodys in my opinion.

I vote for BORLA. I just got a replacement for my old BORLA system, (got rear-ended) and the tips look better now. They have the BORLA emblem raised on the tips just like the CORSA tips do. It looks real sharp, BUUUTT I'm not sure if that's what they look like if you buy them without the entire system? I had never seen pics of em before. As a matter of fact, I didn't even know that they would look like that till I got my car back out of the shop. Pleasant surprise! I'd give 'em a call.
