Exhaust Tips

Looking for alternatives to stock and M chrome tips, which I have. Looking for a single layer titanium look but cannot seem to find such a thing. Post the tips you went with.

You can use the stock tips that are already gloss black.

I agree but the stock tips look small with other defusers than the stick one IMO. Powder coat M chrome may be a decent idea.

The shop that did my muffler delete had a set of matte black 3.5" tips that I went with:

I'm still trying to decide which ones to get for my car too lmao. These are my top 2 choices: the black tips are ECS and they come in 3.5" and 4", and the chrome burnt tips are ARK and they also come in 3.5" and 4".

The BMS 3.5" are a great choice. I wouldn't recommend going any larger than that. 4" might even be touching the diffuser.

Ya 3.5 is the max I'm looking for. I currently have the M chrome tips and just want to swap out. Only chrome on my car has to go

I have no idea what brand they are. You could always go with something cheap like this from eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PAIR-OF-FLAT...pWY6Lv&vxp=mtr

First congrats on the purchase. The stock tips can be knocked off and the BMS tips would slide onto existing exhaust. Mine and others have aftermarket tips that are either clamped on or welded in after a muffler delete.

AWE 4" tips (for size because I don't think they are sold separately)

So BMS states that the tips wont fit on the MPE - I'm planning to go MPE down the road but looking for some tips that will work with both stock and MPE. If the stock tips will fit on the MPE, wouldn't BMS?? Anyone that can chime in thats running a MPE with some tips that are 3.5 or 4.0? or even BMS? thanks!

The BMS tips fit the MPerformance exhaust. I have them. You just need to use some force and squeeze one of the metal clips with a flathead screwdriver when installing them.
