    it seems the same to me, go for the knife cut tip for aggressive styling

    I dunno, that straight tip looks pretty good. Looks a bit like a round Prodrive tip. Not that I'm biased or anything...

    <-------Has a Prodrive round tip ;)

    I have the original, no knife-tip, I love it... It was the first mod I put on my car back in Apr '00! None of that grapefruit-shooter look.

    I have a dual tip stromung :D

    It's actually the wrx 2.5" one that's modded to fit. I wish it stuck out a little farther so it wouldn't mess up my bumper so much. Or it could be that my car runs so rich while warming up :cry:

    sorry for the totally random post ;)

    I'm pretty sure both are catbacks.

    knife cut looks way better. the other one looks like one of those cheap tips you can buy from checker

    Have you ever seen one in real life?! Rolled tip, perfect size....definitely no way it would be confused with a weld-on tip! :roll:
