Default Mina Gallery Exhaust

Hi All,
I have decided to install a Mina Gallery two stage exhaust for a bit of extra noise out the back. I cannot decide on which tips to go with oval or round?
Any advice from those that have done this install or are thinking about it?

Regards,
Karl

I have the Mina under axle system on my '97 coupe. Here's what the round ones look like.




It does put out a very sweet sound. Nice and throaty under load but fairly quite when cruising.

Here is mine with oval tips. Really likes both look and sound.

I personally prefer the Oval and the Adamesh exhaust as the fit is very accurate and looks natural out the back.

Adamesh Oval tips fit contour of the body panel perfectly.
I deleted end silencers, replaced with straight 2.25 pipe [easy & cheap for local shop] and they welded on my Adamesh tips.

Did you also get their hangers since you lost them when cutting off the silencers in the rear?

Yes, local exhaust shop cut out silencers, custom bent and welded on 2.25 pipes w/ hangers for under $250. The place does custom work so this was a very simple & quick job. The old school tech bent the tube like it was art and was not happy until the tip was perfectly centred. I'm sure every town has a similar shop that does hot rod custom type stuff.
