Rolled tips?

Hey ya'll, quick question. Are there advantages or disadvantages to rolled tips? Or is it merely a cosmetic and price difference? Let me know!

When I did mine it was a matter of personal preference and $$$. I don't think there is any type of performance differences. Additionally, with rolled tips you are less likely to cut yourself which could cause a really bad infection.

What size of rolled tips did you guys put on? I have the 3" rolled tips on right now because the shop didn't have any 3.5"ers left. I am going in this week to get them put on...no charge too! The 3"ers look too small to me!

I just picked up a pair of Magnaflow 18" Rolled Tips for $51.

I'm pretty pumped, the shop here in town wanted $40 each for generic tips, now I've saved almost $30 AND they have Magnaflow imprinted on them!

4x18 rolled Magnaflow tips, $55 each from Summit. No difference in sound, just nicer looking.
