Exhaust tips size: MPE versus stock
Is there any difference in size between the MPE exhaust tips and the stock black tips? In pictures it looks like MPE tips are wider in diameter and stick out farther.

Do a search and you will see most people reusing the black tips

I did, that's why I was puzzled when my dealer stated they would only use the chrome tips and refused to reuse the stock tips. Not sure if they were just scamming me into buying the MPE tips or genuinely thought they wouldn't fit.

Lol $80. I think they are $250 which is outrageous. That being said I am an idiot and paid for them. They do look great though! Also they have a small hex bolt on the underside which is what holds it onto the exhaust. I changed my rear diffuser, which sticks out a little further. I ended up loosening the tips and sliding them out half an inch to compensate. |

Unfortunately, the adapter pipes do not account for the peg that positions the stock tips, so I am going to have to saw the peg off and file down the residual metal before being able to seat the adapter pipe. Kind of a pain in the a$$. What have others done to resolve the issue? Curious to know before cutting off the alignment pegs. That is the path of least resistence versus altering the adapter pipe. Suggestions??? |

I'm hoping to replicate what you've done here by using the stock exhaust tips with the MP Diffuser. Can you shed a bit of light on how exactly you did it and what extra parts were required? Thanks in advance.

MPE outlet is slightly larger diameter than the stock outlet but there is space in the stock tips to fit, the tabs just compress more. Believe me..if I installed them anybody can do it

So then, what I'm asking is this; I'm getting the MP Diffusor; fitting the spacers to the stock exhaust and fitting the stock Tips to them in order for them to protrude the required length. Is this a scenario that will work?
