Super easy install! I'll admit one thing boys and this was upon further inspection. And its a minor issue, but it happened to my car and my buddies. And we both installed our own tips, and tried everything to adjust. It seems as though the left side has a better stagger between the tips. And the exhaust tips on the right side seem to be more flush with each other. It is very minor, but we both tried everything on both our cars and there was nothing that could be done to fix it. Take a look at the top view picture and compare left to right and you will kind of be able to see what I'm talking about. JD |

Honestly I don't know if my method is best, but I knew I would never reuse the OEM tips again so I wasn't worried if I scratched them. I used the back side of the hammer and wedged it between the OEM tip and muffler tip. Then I used a screw driver and worked it around, and then with my other hand was used to jiggle and pull the OEM tip out. I'm not going to lie if you have the right tools, exhaust tip puller (prong setup) much easier, and can keep tips in good condition. I really didn't care about the OEM tips, and I didn't want to go out to get a tool. So I got crafty and it took me all of about 10 mins lol
A lot of people used the hammer, and then a rubber mallet and just keep tapping. Then you should be able to pull out the tip. That process requires patience, and more elbow grease. Call me lazy! JD |

Best tips I've seen thus far. Clean and no stamps.

Also purchased these and installed them this past weekend. I have an Alpine White M4 with the M Performance diffuser and they look fantastic. Really keep the OEM-type look which was important for me.
They look way, way larger than the stock tips, FYI. I was pretty shocked by the size difference in person, but they look great and just like a more aggressive version of OEM, not aftermarket at all. I'll try and grab some pictures soon to add to the thread. |

About the alignment, I can see that if you look at the tips from the top you can see that there is a slight difference, however is it noticeable at all if you are looking at the car from the back (Which is where in reality you'll be viewing them from)? From the pictures atleast it doesn't seem to be visible at all.

Mine had a BMS logo on the very bottom of the tip. You would have to go under the car in order to attempt to see it. IDK if it was just on the gloss black tips, or if all colors have the branding. Again the branding is not visible from plain site when installed!

On the right side, I had to readjust a bit so they would slide in all the way and now do have symmetric, OEM stagger. What happened was that the inner wall of the tips gets caught on the end of the exhaust piping when your sliding them on, which causes the tip to stick out further at a slight offset, and not settle all the way into place on the spring clips. And again this only happened on the right side for some reason, but what I had to do was be extra careful to make sure the inner lip of the tip was aligned perfectly with the end of the exhaust pipe and then it slid into place correctly. If you reach your hand in you can feel if the end of the exhaust piping is caught "inside" the inner rim of the tip on one side and then it becomes obvious which direction it's not aligned correctly. Once you get this sorted out though they look awesome. |
