Unhappy 4.6 Exhaust tips

Does anyone know if or where I can find 4.6i.s exhaust tips? I have a 02 4.4 and Im trying to immitate that exact look. I already have the front and rear spoilers on. I have the stock black 4.4 tips and want to replace it with that oval tip look like the one on the 4.6! I really dont want to have to buy a whole new exhaust system either! Can someone help me out! Thanks

i think there is a company called Ractive that makes some.
i'm not sure if it's what ur looking for or if it will even work, but they look darn close.

i have those tips on my 2002 3.0, i was looking at my brother`s 4.4 and the tips are too far apart to try to slide the ractive tips without the back on top of the 2 tips of the 4.4.

but i`m sure if you take it to a shop, they can cut the 2 tips of the 4.4 and make a Y shape tubing that will let you install the ractives tips on them.

I have installed these on a customers 4.4.These are not twin ovals like the 4.6/4.8(just a single exit)!The easiest DIY mod is to have a short Y-piece to go between your dual pipes and the single exit of the Tailpipe(tip),but this will make the tailpipe stick out more!What I always do is to cut the the back of the Reactive tailpipe and remove the interior and you are left with just the outer part of the tip,which you can now slide over your oem twin pipes ,needing just a few spot welds to fix it in place...NOW YOU HAVE THE TWIN OVAL LOOK..........

I just ordered a set of the 4.8 tips from Crevier. Vaheh told me that they will work on my 4.4 with some welding. So once I get them I am taking them to a custom shop and having the resonator pulled out, x pipe and 4.8 tips welded on.

$118 per tip.
