Default Which Tips?

I've been thinking for a long time about putting tips on. I don't care much for the sound of after market exhaust, but what really bugs me is how ugly the tips are on the stock exhaust. I don't like how you can see the steel outlet within the outer cover. Once I saw anther member put tips on, it really got me thinking.

These are two that I have narrowed it down to. Magnaflow seems to be the only company that has nice tips. Both of these have an angled tip, but one is rounded more like stock, the other is sharper like the Tanabe exhaust.

What do ya'll think, and do ya'll know any other companies that make good tips.

I like the 1st ones the best. They are "similar" to the Tanabe tips and that complimented my rear bumper perfect

I had this on couple day ago. Oh, when you do it make sure you don't angle the tips up to much, because it going trap water inside the tips and starting to rust where the weld are.
