Thanks for the compliments. The tips are listed below. Bought them from Summit Racing for $26.50 each. Borla's muffler has four output stubs that are 2 inch outside diameter. I'll look into some black screws, those that are on there are stainless flange head button screws, I haven't had a lot of luck with paint adhering to stainless very long.

I like that a lot. Did you take any pictures of the installation process or whatnot? As per the screws that you used to hold that piece in place, could you not use black zip ties instead and have a more concealed look versus screws?

With regard to the screws verses zip ties or other fasteners, once you have the OEM tip/collector piece in hand you can see that it is an over-designed part that is held on with a variety of strangely angled mounts.
I appreciate everyone's own cosmetic sense and feedback with regard to the screws, I will keep in mind replacing them with black ones. They are very easily replaced, I used 6mm nutserts under them, so I just need to find a non-rusting black 6mm x 20mm screw. I kind of thought the stainless screws added a little detail to the area.
