It doesn't look stock to me, but that is because I know what the stock exhaust looks like.

It looks like exactly like the exhaust from the Honda Accord sedan, which I thought looked ugly IMO. Makes our cars look cheap.

If you like it, then by all means keep it!

True, but I prefer beveled round tips. For oval tips, the OEM's design is hard to beat. Again, this is all IMHO.

The oem wouldn't exactly fit over my exhaust. But then again tips are so cheap i can replace them again later on.
Btw my exhaust is 2.5" all the way from the cats. These tips are also 2.5", however it's bridged from the muffler with a very short 2.25" pipe. Do you think that will affect the airflow?

Oh god, no. Not even close. The OEM tips are cheap looking for so many reasons. Very first mod I did to my car was to hack them off and have something else welded on.

I get that. But wow, man. That's out there.

If you're looking for an OEM-like design, but one improved over stock, these seem to fit the bill:

I actually got this tip from them. The one you linked is too small so this was the closest I could find. Not sure if I should get the ark burnt tip or keep these.

The everyday passer by would not notice the difference. Too similar.

So that fuzzy pic of yours is one of the oval, 30* slash cut, double-wall, rolled-edge, resonated tips from Red Tail Performance?

If so, let's see better pics, please. I'm confused about what you're doing Razorr.

I'll get better pics later. To be honest, I'm actually confused myself. I just wanted to get rid of the techno tips I had. But now I myself don't know if I want it to look like stock, or do I want the ark performance burnt tips.

Yeah I know just wanted some feedback from others.

I hear that, those techno tips are hideous (IMO). But some people like them.

My advice (which is just an opinion): you want it to look like it could be stock, but looks better than if it actually were.
