Same question...thought you didn't purchase the tips? Very interested to see how this shapes up on the car. Unless something is horribly wrong I have a strong suspicion that I am going to be placing an order soon.

Ah sorry. I got the tips from eBay as well. I searched "2.5" ID Carbon Fiber Quad Exhaust Tips" or something similar. They should show up
Or if you order the diffuser through Aliexpress, it comes with tips.
Edit: You will probably need an adapter for the tips. In my case with my JoeZ axleback, I will need a 2.25" to 2.5" adapter welded in.

I don't think the exhaust tips are strait bolt on. I think the stock tip are off center on the back of the muffler. Hopefully this aftermarket diffuser has the tips lined up perfectly with the opening.

About 1.5cm gap
About 1.5cm gap on other side too
Too short on one side to utilize both mounting screws
Popping out a bit
You can see how visible the gap is from this picture. Also showing exhaust is not centered. Will need to bend some pipes
Muffler shop bent the axleback at this point on both side. You can see the discoloration from the heat.
Even from this far you can see the gaps

Geez man those gaps are terrible. Open a case with Paypal and get your money back!
I'm not sure if taking the bumper off and using self tapping screws will help or damage the bumper. This might be why KrapWerdna is trying to sell his:

Sorry for the delay guys. It's been a very busy two weeks. I actually got it installed last Saturday.
Fitment is honestly pretty poor. You can tell from all the gaps. The inner lip is also too short to use any kind of screw. It would rip through the edge. It's also shorter on one side, so I couldn't utilize both mounting holes.
I had to switch to bolts, screws and washers because the original plastic fasteners would not work due to the gaps.
The bent fin I had concerns about also came back to bite me on the ***. Like I suspected, where I needed the hole was too close to the edge. I ripped through the edge.
Also realized when installing it that it's not tally symmetrical. There was a spot for a mounting screw on one side, but not on the other.
Spoke to the seller about these problems, which are clearly tolerance and QC problems, and they basically said tough ****. Their "other customers" installed it fine, so I must have done something wrong.
Between that, them ignoring my initial concerns when they sent me pictures (before they shipped), and how long passed their initial estimated delivery date, I say stay away. Pay another $100 for a plastic Aimgain diffuser.

Was trying to work with them, but they're basically saying **** off.
Think I should go through ebay or paypal for the chargeback?

Open the ebay case here: https://resolutioncenter.ebay.com/
They will make the seller provide a return shipping label, also make sure you select item not as described. If the seller does not provid e a shipping label ebay issuies a full refund.
If it's too late for eBay open the paypal case.
