The supersprint tips look great, but I just checked out the pricing and it is insane:

MSRP $1,139.33
Your Price: $843.95

I did see some of those other tips, but from what I've seen on a few other X5's as well as looking at the ones I have now the best fit would be a 3"x3" diameter on the each tip with a total length of 6-8" max. 6" would be flush ideally with the bumper

The magnaflow's are 10" long so theres no way on the ends to cut them down enough also the tips each measure 3" wide x 2.5" tall. Also I think I'm going to search for stainless steel tips what I've read and seen in person its very easy to spray black engine enamel to paint them black. Finally the inlet shouldn't matter as all of these have to be spot weld.

I found these tips on ebay today, but it's so hard to tell the actual length by pictures. These are 3.5 instead of the 3 like magnaflows and are single instead of dual wall I think painted black they could look good? The only concern I have with these is theres little room to cut them down at the spot weld, and they could be too long as the seller states the total length to be 10.25"

DUAL EXHAUST TIPS STAINLESS STEEL 2.5" ID 3.5" TIP : eBay Motors (item 310195980716 end time Feb-20-10 08:58:01 PST)



I went ahead and measured the magnaflows today..

-The actual dual pipes itself before they are merged together its 5.5"
-The total length from the part where its welded to the existing pipe is 8" this was cut down from 10"
