OK, so my tipless CTS is begging for some to be welded on. I have been thinking about which tips to go with....still not sure but I would sure love to hear some suggestions.

Me personally I really dig these Borla tips below, but I am having a hard time deciding, which one do you think looks best? Do you know any that look better?

I like how unique the design is, really different.

This are kinda cheesy. Best look IMO are 3-4" slash cut and/or rolled stainless.

Save money and go with a coffee can.
(and gain 50 free hp - although I think that is BS!)

You only get 50 if it's a dark roast can ahaha

CTS-V should have come with tips.

The CTS-V not the 3.6L CTS. Only the Sports 3.6 CTS comes with tips otherwise I wouldn't have had to go through this. Feast your eyes on the genius of the Cadillac guys with the 3.6L CTS bent downards muffler tip:



VS the CTS sport muffler which is basically a hack job done to the regular 3.6L muffler which is basically what I am going to have to do:

Admittedly yes the last two are kind of cheesy, I really like rolled tips, but that first borla tip looks much better in person.

slap a Type-R sticker on it or a GT-R badge and call it a day.

Do you have any pics with your options on the car already? Seems lacking in this thread with those undercar ghetto shots.

The only thing ghetto here is your comments, take them some where else please.

so just get a 3.6L sport tip?

Unfortunately, they don't sell them.

Just pay a shop to put on a tip like the one you linked to earlier.

That's one of my options, to probably get a rolled stainless tip. I like those, but I was also looking for something a little a bit different, maybe not too different like the bottom two...

Your bumper has a half round cutout in it, not square or rectangular. So something round would be best choice.

have you checked cts forums for sport tips for sale? i'm sure people are upgrading those and may have them lying around.
