black Corsa exhaust tips

I don't think they would work directly, the OEM tips angle down and then back, the Corsa's go straight back. I'd also guess the tip spacing would be off due to the outlet spacing on the Corsa's.

I'm sure it could be fabricated, but I'm done paying for stuff like that after the last go-round. Plus my stock tips went in the trash along with that whole setup.

Painting the Corsa's black though is cheap/free. And it could always be undone, though with a bit of effort, if I were to take the system off and sell it.

Yes, before the Corsa I had the stock pipes, an LT4 resonator, and 3" Dynomax Ultraflow cans with the stock tips. It looked stock and sounded awesome. But the resonance was killer with headers.

I had to go with the Dynomax mufflers because they had the right outlet spacing. Magnaflows were too narrow. Some Flowmasters seemed to be the right dimension, but I wanted straight-through mufflers. I dunno if going to 2.5" mufflers would have helped with the resonance. I was done experimenting though, and went to the sure-thing Corsa's.

Edit: Oh, you have a '94. I assume you mean the rectangle tip. Since you'd use a central-exit muffler, you have a ton of selection of mufflers to choose from. There is no outlet spacing issue since there is only one central outlet.

When I get back to work Im going to put a complete system on my car,stainless headers all the way back,the only problem is finding a place to stash the stock exhaust.I never really cared for the polished mufflers on the aftermarket systems,this hug shinny can behind the tire.If I go with a system Ill have the mufflers powdered coated black and the stock 91 tips modified for the aftermarket muffler.Not too many people think about it but the tips were also a ZR-1 item on the 90-91s.

What wheels are on the car? that will help me decide

I like the black myself. They would look good with my black powder-coated wheels.

Regular silver finished 5-spokes. I've thought painting them black would look good, but I really don't want to deal with the hassle.

I think a flatter black/gunmetal on the exhaust would go better with the flat black beltline and license plate surround. Shiny black I don't think would look as good, though still probably better than shiny stainless.
