Yes, your local exhaust shop can get them on your stock mufflers.

Get it welded, it's cheap to do it and you don't have to worry about it falling off.

Unless you know how to weld, I wouldn't suggest trying to DIY.

Mine were verrry similar to those. I think they were called ONZA and the muffler shop had to cut the exisiting tip, put some spacer b/c they're much bigger than oem, and weld them on.
Make sure they align them straight and maybe tilt them closer to the bumper, but not too close.
Have them hold them first while you stand back and take a look.
When I was on my 16's with 55 series, they scraped going into any incline, driveways...., worst with passengers in the back.
Now with 18's on 40s, unlowered , they haven't scraped. I don't know if they will when I
lower

How much are those running for? May I suggest Borla Tips? You can PM Drewgs4. He got few sets of the borla. You can get them round or oval.

I recently purchased a set from him. They are modified so you can just bolt it on yourself if you dont want to weld them.
