to tip or not to tip, that is the question...
and the verdict...i decided to tip. 
just had these tips installed this afternoon. too dark to take good pics by the time i got my car back, so i'll take some pics either tomorrow or the following day on how they look installed.
i want to thank freddie at SR Auto Group (http://www.srautogroup.com/) for getting these tips to me fast!

believe me, i've looked at the cheaper tips that you can pick up at a muffler shop or automotive parts store. nothing that floated my boat, so to speak. also considered tips from other makes (eg: porsche tips), but it somehow didn't feel right to install those on the GSh (sorta like how some guys won't allow wheels from an infiniti be installed on a 3GS, that kind of idea). decided on the wald oval 120, and i'm glad i did. as you can see from the pics, these are quality tips. they are pricey, but well worth it imho. to check out wald tips, go here:

Canadian Tire had very nice stainless (304) - that looks exactly like (same thickness, shape, double wall oval exit) as the Wald on sale for $12 - quite likely a closeout. Lifetime manufacturer's warranty on the finish.
For what WALD is asking, you can actually get custom fabricated TIG welded titanium tips (yes they do exist) with enough left over for a tank of gas.

sorry, but i'm going to have to disagree with you on that one. and maybe you know someone who can custom fabricate TIG welded titanum tips, but I don't know of any shops in my area that can do that. and it's not the kind of look i'm going for in any event. titanium tips (imho) are more for sports/race cars than vip styled cars.
