Default Which tip should I get?

Hey guys. Am wanting a dual exhaust to turn out the sides (not a straight back). Which tip do yall like? Here are some of my currents...

or

The first one's a double wall. Is that a big deal? It's about twice the price as the second, and I can only get it 10" long.

I dont know what the difference is as far as double walled goes, but its your preference. I have the second ones on mine out the back, but if your going to go out the sides, I think the shorter ones would look better. Just my 2 cents

So you think the shorter one's will look better? I don't mean out the side in front of the wheel. Just angled out like stock but on both sides.

First I cant see why anyone would spend that much on a tip Im hoping to spend about that much on a whole exhaust system. But if I had the money I would go with the Bigger one I like that look.

Yea I know what you mean. Do you plan on going with 45 degree slant at the corners of the bumper or going 90 degrees. Either way, I think it would look better with the shorter ones. But again thats my opinion, Im not trying to tell you what to do.

LOL, I know what you mean for the price. And I like the look of the longer ones too, but not out the side.

Haha, opinions is what I want. I'm thinking a 90 degree. What do you think?

Jacobs4X4, I want the tips for the look and the added throat to the exhaust. I think just the pipes would look trashy and just thrown up there. I want it clean.

FYI~ Will not buy the tips directly from Magnaflow. Their MSRPs are through the roof. They say like 220 bucks for a 2 1/2 crossover. Same thing (yes still magnaflow) on ebay for 90. Ebay FTW!

I'm looking for performance too, though. Will be running Magnaflow mufflers. More than likely will go true dual with x pipe
