hi @EC145pilot: thanks for your time on taking the pic, the photo address my concern about that hole may send heat to the surrounding plastics during harddriving......

It looks as though the new tip is connected by about 1/4"-3/8", is this correct? If so I am out...

Other brands require welds. Aerolarri’s do.

LMFAO I love that it says Akrapovic. If I'm gonna fake having a brand name exhaust, you're damn right it's going to be the $10,000 one!

.

How did you specify this, or do they just come that way?

They just came that way. Pretty difficult to find them without that logo for that style at least.

Nice! Might have to go your route next time. I'm starting to get a slight yellowing on my outer tips from the heat. I'd go with the 4.5" though. I like that they fill the hole in the exhaust cutouts completely. Thanks for posting a link.

I even thought about doing a staggered 4.5|4----4|4.5 but decided to just try the 4's first.

Should just copy/reprint your original post - most won't know what the BMP was for.

After some time, used smittydog's tips, and mortelec procedure.....sound changed...not louder, but maybe more refined, maybe due to the lack of the small holes on the oem tips..

Hey Guys, I just wanted to say thank you for the "tips"! :-D

Car looks way better now.

BTW, I got the 2.5 ID to 4" OD tips from Amazon, I believe they are the same that @metomwhhou used.

Easy Install

I installed my tips yesterday. I used my 20V DeWalt die grinder with 2 inch cutoff wheels. It took about 10 minutes to cut off the tips. Another 5 or so to grind the factory welds a bit. Another 15 to install the tips. No bumper removal, and very easy. Cost was $177.00 complete. Ebay tips.
