They look well made.

Personally, I'd stay with the stock tips. They add a little more flair.

You may also consider these as well.

Flowmasters. Have you installed them yet? I've read a couple of posts and they seem to perform OK with minimal drone. I wonder if the dual stock tips could be used in place of the single tip shown?

If you cut off the stock quads and weld them, they will fit. It's been done and the subject of many a post recently. Drone is the issue.
