Can't decide which tips would look best on my ride

Hi all,

Currently debating which tip style I should get on the invidia gemini catback. I like the single-walled Ti tips, but my fear is they are too aggressive for my otherwise-stock car. If I had wheels/lowered then I think it would be a no-brainer. The dual walled Ti tips look funny for some reason. I was thinking just get the dual-walled SS tips, then I can always trade out to the more aggressive Ti's later if I end up getting a drop. However, I haven't seen any pictures of the SS dual walled tips, except for one vid on youtube.

I also like the beveled look on the Tanabe and FI systems, but I think i've decided those systems (while amazing quality) are too loud for me. Car is daily driven and needs to be professional.

My car is graphite shadow.

What is everyone's opinion?

Are you getting an exhaust solely based on the look of the tips?

Tanabe is too loud for you? It's just about the mildest option out there.

Tips also depend on what color your car is. PG and AG don't look great with TI IMO but most other colors do.

Absolutely not! Sorry if I made the post sound that way. Going for invidia bc it seems high quality, good price, good gains, and has a mild sound. The only drawback is their tips aren't that good looking, but you can't have everything.

The reason I consider tanabe loud is gthal's review in which he specifically replaced his tanabes for an invidia system.

I agree about the ti tips looking better on some colors than others.

Thanks for the replies so far.

I have the SS rolled tips on My gemini it looks much better in person than on pics. Overall I'm very satisfied with the exhaust. Great fitment and sounds very good IMO.

My buddy Travis has the Gemini invidia exhaust that he had an exhaust shop remove the stock tips and weld on custom rolled tips. That's always an option too.
