First off, I'd be asking the seller to show actual pics of the tips and not of a cardboard box.
2nd, I'd be asking the forum for confirmation of the OD of the existing oem tips as the seller ad mentions 2 1/4 inlet diam.

I'd measure the outlet tips size on the OEM mufflers too make sure they will be able to attach, then make sure the total length wouldn't have them sticking out too far.

With things like that where you don't know if it will work right until you have it in your hands... I would consider going to an exhaust shops that have different tips in stock to hold up to it and see.
