Default Borla Muffler Tip design?

I talked to a friend who works at Borla (about 1 mile from me)and even though he's in the factory, i was shocked that they haven't made a new tip design!and there is not a full photo of the system only a rear picture with round tips!So if you want to make it look good, let's post some suggestive pics'.They are interested to see what xfire owners want!

I'm interested in the Borla but the round tips they show are a turn-off to me. I'm interested for performance and a bit throatier sound but I like the current tip design.

They already have square ones that I want on our kit but they probably put the round ones on...

Here is what I like from borla:

Cut the stock tips off and weld them to the Borla for a completely stock look. Any competent muffler shop should be able to do that no problem.

Actually that was a suggestion but ,Borla would like customers to be able to see a little better looks since the investment is probably around $800+install,Bob.I did give them a simple design using the stock tips or just improving the looks of them!Bob ,Oh i did that for free Bob Your welcome BOb

yeah well pushing the product out months and not taking any of our advice on tip suggestions will do that for them...
