After removing the oem cosmetic chrome tip, I measured 66-67mm (2.6") diameter at the very end of the bare exhaust tip, which was the widest portion of the tip after the muffler. This part was about 45-46mm (1.8") deep, going back to the muffler, where the exhaust tip narrowed to approx 54-55mm (2.1") diameter. I didn't measure how far back the bare exhaust tip went straight back before taking a slight angle, just before entering the muffler, but this is something to consider - basically the cosmetic aftermarket tip can't be too long, otherwise it might be harder to get the tips to be parallel with each other (not impossible, just a little more attention to make sure everything is lined up). Couldn't sleep, as this was bugging me myself, so I had to go to the garage to measure in the middle of the night. Too lazy to move the cars though, so didn't have much room to work with. So, we would need a min inner diameter of 67mm of the cosmetic aftermarket tip to get it past the bare exhaust tip, but then figure out how to secure it to the narrower diameter of the exhaust tip, which the clamp area would be over (unless you like the tip to stick out excessively). The metal 'o ring' diameter reducer (see 5th pic from left) included with this auction would be awesome, but the inner diameter of this tip is too small to be able to slip over the bare exhaust tip (63mm, per auction page). https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dry-Carbon-...xaUuo2&vxp=mtr I will keep looking, and get some more measurements, and perhaps some pictures later. |

Looking to get same tips but have choice between 67mm and 70mm
