i have the

14862 w/ 3" tips

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so i'll state mine: the 3.5" doesn't match the car at all. I fitted both the mufflers up to the car in the shop before I put It on. The 3" tips are slightly bigger than stock, while the 3.5 looked closer to a ricer coffee can. The shape is Way off, especially on the M-tech rear. The tapered tips on the 14862 fits the car very nice... If you want the exhaust to definitely look aftermarket, get the 3.5", since it's noticeably different than stock. once again, that's my opinion.

The bottom line is, you can't go wrong. It sounds incredible for what you pay for it. Mine was 220 installed. Any other exhaust for this car is a whole different ballgame in price.. I say, spend your money elsewhere. It looks good and sounds great.

I have the 14816 .. On the stock bumper, it fills it in quite nicely.

Get the 14815 tips are 3inch and fit perfect. The 14816 tips are 3.5 inch and look to big.

you guys arent making it an easy decision for me. i like the 14862 but i think it looks too much like stock. the 14816 looks good but im afraid the tips will look too big. can anyone post pics of either one or both with the mtech rear to help me make a decision.

here are few pictures i found of 14816 and 14862 (last one). My opinion is that 14816 is too big. I am afraid that on M-Tech bumper will look too much. I am a little conservative, some people like aggressive look of 14816
