So do they fit or not? I know that one guy said they did but he hasn't came back and verified it with pics or definite info yet. I like the idea and would like to experiment as long as I don't have to cut the bumper.

they fit man, trust me. it will fit very snugly, and it would probably look better if you just shaved around the bumper a bit. but it will fit perfectly fine, just tight.

i don't have pix, i tested this with powdercoated black techart tips. i would do it but i am in between getting a new car or not. btw the techart tips are 700 MSRP, i was getting them for about half that.

as long as they are not touching the bumper or close enough for them to melt the bumper, it wouldnt need shaving, but yea tips are expensive, I want to get a good deal on them otherwise i aint gonna do it

Just get the HKS or Tanabe exhaust and it will look better IMO. Save the close to 400$ for those tips...

Your current tips look great and it looks as if you had to modify the bumper a bit. Go for the tanabe like Passnu2 (Mike) has, it sounds excellent on the 350. It is a clean strong rumble and is not ricey.

I already have an exhaust, and in my opinion it sounds better than HKS or Tanabe, Its german made and has a very agressive german car sound i think its one of the nicest ive heard.

Its called Fox Exhaust Systems. Its a german company. Not too sure what the diff between axel back and cat back is, i thought it was the same thing.
