    HELP ME! Muffler Tips

    Hey all, some of you might be tracking my complete restoration of my 325iC here on R3V... http://r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=144754
    I need your help in the final stages of the exterior. My RD rear apron has forced me to remove the angled muffler tips off my new Bavauto muffler. I will be welding new tips straight off the back to match the opening in the apron. I have located a shop for chrome tips to get the perfect diameter (stock). However, I cannot decide whether to go with rolled tip or not. These will be straight-cut, 2 and 3/8 OD, 2 and 1/4 ID. I don't want the rolled tip to look ricey, but will a normal cut look to plain?
    Here are some pics to get the message across, ignore everything except the tip in these photos.
    Rolled tip vs. Non-rolled tip:

        How about a non-rolled with like a 20 degree cut like in the picture?

              That would be my ideal setup if I had to run a valance. Without a valance, I'd run this setup with the slanted tips.

                            This doesn't look rolled to me, it doesn't have a full radius on the end, looks more like a flare with the ID chromed as well.
