Hey Guys!

Has anyone installed these exhaust tips from China?
I'm a bit worried about their fitment because our exhaust tips have weird aligment dowel. I'd like to fit them but don't want to cut my exhaust.
Thanks

Don't cut your exhaust pipe just take a Dremel tool and trim off the dowel. The dowel's only purpose is to align the tip during installation. Once you have the tip properly clamped down it is not going to rotate with or without a dowel.

You think? I'm also a bit worried if the exhaust pipe wont be too far in the exhaust tip / too visible.

I received it few months ago, haha. Now waiting for my diffuser. The stock exhaust will have to get cutted because there are also the little aligment dowels and it's too long. So to keep it nice and clean I will get it cutted
