Default Magnaflow tips done...well not quite...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/32668/both_tips.jpg"></center><p>Okay so the car needs a wash, but besides that, what do you guys think?

Maybe I am being overly meticulous, but is there a way to touch this up a bit? The right (pass-side) cutout is slightly bigger than the left. Also, how to best center the tips (or the cutout) so it looks even &amp; flush?

Thanks.

Default The edges look quite thin. Are they rolled "double walled" or...

...are they simply straight steel? Sort of anemic looking. (Sorry.)

The rolled edge tips look better to me:

Default Prefer this Magnaflow tip. It's more meaty.

Ah, must be the camera angle. Do you have a shot from "eye level"?
