Can't install.... because I don't have all 4..... but I can test fit.

Diameter was 2mm off.... but I can correct that easily with my pipe expander. NBD.

But.... the way the tips come from behind the exhaust trim rings, they hang low, so they are closer to the bottom than the top. No good. However, the factory exhaust (rubber) hangers have stetched from 35mm to 45mm in only 4500 miles. If they were still at their original 35mm length.... I'd be good.

35mm poly exhaust hangers ordered, and on the way. They won't stretch like rubber. New tips on the way from California.... and "maybe" the other long lost set from China will show up?

More to follow.
