PHML has the contact to get 'em. Yeah I think the right is just a touch high...I'm going to get it looked at. As far as I know, they're not L-tuned. Thanks for the compliments!

Looks great! I agree that it looks like the L-tuned. Very nice. How do they sound?

John,

Tips don't change the sound, they just change the looks. You've got to do an exhaust or different mufflers for the sound.

how do real L-tune mufflers/tips sound on the V8 compared to stock? They are not the same mufflers for V8 and V6 are they?

Definitely louder and more aggressive (the mufflers / exhaust, not the tips lol). They are the same for both V8 and I6 (I know that was just a typo, I made the same mistake last month)

Yah, I know better-at least I didn't say I8
How are the power gains on a L-tune exhaust setup? Would I notice a diff on my stock 430?
Thanks
