MPE with aftermarket tips

I am thinking of getting the MPE, but the cost of tips alone (~$1300) seems like a rip-off. Has anyone installed aftermarket tips on the MPE? As I understand, there are no "clamps" on the raw tips, so not sure how they would fit.

Also, what's the diameter of raw tips without the titanium or carbon fiber tips installed?

Yes it's a rip off. The Dinan turbo costs just about the same.

BUT, there are reasons why you should do it:
1) A huge cosmetic improvement from the behind. Nothing from aftermarket at this point comes close.
2) Value retention is much better with OEM parts.
3) You've already invest 3K or so in cat back. Rather have a taste than a few hundred bucks back.

Went for the whole shebang! Carbon fiber tips look glorious
