M performance carbon exhaust tips
Guys, is there any easy way to spot if the carbon tips are Oem or fake ? I’m looking to purchase one locally but not sure where I should look

OEM diy polished vs not polished, the original one shouldn't be this gloss, but more matt alike. Also the screws are different on two side, one side is hex and the other side are torx

They look OEM to me. I have the knockoffs and while they also look nice, I haven't found any other that looks like the OEM CF tips.
Plus, the edges of the tip are raw while the Fake ones are gloss.

Can you do me a big favor please?
I need the exact inlet diameter from those replicas for ordering mine. I think the outer diameter is around 3.5" and fits into the diffusor, but not entire sure if 2.5" inlets would fit tight enough onto the exhaust tips. Plus afaik you have to delete the pins at the 12 o'clock position at the muffler to make them fit into the rear, otherwise they would stuck out. Thank you.
