+1 Me too. Aesthetics-wise, I don't think we can get much better than the stock ones. The bottom curvature bumper, shape of the exhaust cutouts, and the shape of the exhaust "tips" were designed in harmony. Change any one of those elements and something will look out of place.

That's an interesting idea. Looks like the ISS exhaust. I, as well, would prefer the stock tips for the Joe Z exhaust.

But yeah need to see more pics.

nice idea, but the borla tips leave a lot of empty space with the pics.

The Borla and even ISS leaves some space visible that would get covered up well with the oval tips. Both sound great, but I can't complain with the Joe Z. Great use of the stock tips to keep everything concealed nicely.

I've finished the the tips but I still have some things left to do before showing the finished product. Overall it looks really good to me and I am pleased. The borla tips are very high quality ($260 for all 4) not at all cheap but this is a world where you get what you pay for. I know there are a lot of people here who still like the stock setup better but to me the diffusers are just too cheap looking. Thanks everyone so far for your opinions as they are always welcomed.

I feel the same way, stock tips look cheap and fake the only thing I don't like about the car.

As long as you are happy with them, that's all that matters.

Can't wait to see the finished product! Oh, and maybe a sound clip if you get a chance...
