Too bad the OEM tips can’t be removed through the diffuser to avoid having to drop the muffler. Sounds like there is a bracket preventing them going through the diffuser. The Borla tip barely enters the OEM tips, therefore one might think the tip could push back over the pipe and then be fanagled around it, but since no one has done that it, probably not possible. I’ll take it back to the muffler shop that installed Borla and have them drop it.

Anyone put tips on their ark grip?

Found some of these tips here that I like. Unfortunately there is only one picture and there is no description on the size of these tips. I have a Borla catback and I can't see if these only fit stock or not.

Can I ask what tool you used to trim the diffuser openings? I was thinking of marking a consistent offset with a compass, then using a Dremel cutoff wheel, and cleaning it up with some sanding.

I have the oval Akrapovic tips, but the exhaust isn't perfectly aligned so it rubs just a bit. I have a few random rattles now and then, wondering if this would help eliminate them.

I used a $50 plastic dremel, mainly have to trim the top of the diffuser for the two inner tips, the others were shoved in. No rattles.

I’m looking to buy those exact style tips except oval due to community reviews. Did you by any chance drive with the CBE with stock to know the difference these tips made to drone/cabin noise

These look nice, but given the price and lack of info around sizing and fitment its too much of a risk to order and just hope they work.

with your set up there is no drone, the new tips you put there is just for looks it wont do nothing! Cause i have the same set up before and changed the tips for looks. If you have aftermarket CBE then the tips would help.

I have those with my Tubi Style exhaust as well. They are polished though.

FWIW - I have these on MBRP exhaust with no cutting or anything, they fit perfectly...even though the pics don't show it with a logo, it does in fact come with the AK Logo. About $18 per...but price does fluctuate daily.

No comments about how dirty it is, winter/spring in Minnesota makes it impossible to keep a car clean.

they do look good ! I had x89 and trimmed only a little bit

I just bought these (51mm ID 90mm OD). I'm running the Ark catback and secondary downpipes. I plan to trim off as much as needed so the tips don't touch at all. Will update once I have details on shipping and the install once I get them. Ark website says tip is 2.0 so 51mm ID 90mm OD should be correct.

ok, read through 29 pages of this thread and everybody is talking about removing or loosening the exhaust to get to the tips. wouldn't it be easier to just remove the rear bumper to access the tips, since you do have to Dremel the hole slightly, that way you can add the tips without loosening the exhaust or am I not getting the reason for the exhaust to be touched.

Trust me itll be a lot easier to just remove the exhaust. It's a matter of preference. I didnt feel like unhooking any of the wires. I just took an exacto knife to the exhaust cutout and it came out like bottle lol.
