Simple (relatively) exhaust tip mod.

I find the stock exhaust quite ugly and unfitting of a $95K ride. Found these bolt on tips.

Looks good.

Unless you replace the stock exhaust hangers with hardened poly ones that don't stretch..... they are either going to:

1) rattle and eventually fall off
2) dent the bottom side of your OEM exhaust shroud
3) both

I saw your other post where you linked the ratchet wrench you used. We're you able to install these without removing the bumper? I'm assuming you used that wrench and tightened the tips from under the car.

I welded them on..... after the first set fell off, came loose, and rattled.
