A cheap, good looking alternative for sport exh. tip

The other day a truck hit a barrel of sand in front of me and although I did my best to miss it, it wound up under my car and badly dented my OEM resonator and muffler I replaced recently, thank God it was not the oil pan.
Dug the sport exhaust back out of the box I put it in a year ago and reinstalled it (new clamps). I never liked the pricey tip that came with it, so I hit the local auto parts stores to find an alternate that didn't look so obvious. I found a oval tip that is shorter than the Saab tip, light in weight, triple chromed with a more secure mounting system than the one Saab offers at Discount Auto Parts for 7.00. It doesn't stick out and the install looks identical to the new 9-3 tip.
Oh, to keep the noise level down, I used the slightly dented (no holes)OEM carbon steel resonator and piping, replacing only the banged up muffler with the sport exhaust rear muffler and pipe. Good fit, no leaks, quieter too and still free flowing.
