Factory exhaust + Performance Carbon Fiber Tips: can it be done?

Many people here went to the Performance Exhaust and installed back the factory black chrome tips. But I'm going the other way, I'm keeping my factory exhaust but wanting to install the Carbon Fiber Tips.

I've read on ebay sites that "it cannot be done", but I need your input to confirm if it is true that no way you can do this. Truly appreciate your feedback!

i guess an easier question would be, will the MP chrome tips fit the stock muffler? if yes then the CF tips should fit as well.

You're right, I screwed up with the initial question, thanks.

Stock tailpipe dia is 60mm

MPE tailpipe dia is 67mm

MPE trims are concentric and fixed by a grub screw on the underside.

If you used a packer sleeve 1/8th" thick slid over stock tailpipe, with a slot at 6 o clock position to allow grub screw to pinch tailpipe outside diameter, then MPE trim could be slid onto tailpipe and packer and secured with grub screw (you may have to get a longer grub screw)
