3.5 inch shot gun pipes on any generation vette, the lt1 tips are way too low key. Either magnaflow(actually affordable) or corsa(supposedly have a copyright on their exact style). Sorry this is a really crappy picture. Just google magnaflow or corsa corvette.

Im leaning towards the Lt1 tips as I think they fit the bumper of my early C4. Found a pair on ebay for about $55 shipped.

It all depends on the accessaries of your car. example. If you have chrome wheels, chrome tips would look good. If you don't have then a chrome tip may not look as good as other options.

My logic in selecting the tips I wanted was based on the color of my car, (white) with the black molding going down the side.

I chose to go with black splash guards and black LT1 tips so everything would blend together. That's not to say the chrome tips may not have looked good to someone else though. It comes down to personal taste.

This picture isn't the best but hopefuly you can get and idea what I'm talking about.

I like the MAM 86-91 muffler kits with the LT1 tips. Stainless would look real nice.
