AARGGH! Exhaust tip flew off on highway!

Accelerating quickly from a red light, suddenly see a black thing bounce on road in rear view mirror. Turn around and its one of my black powder coated exhaust tips. AARRGH. Needless to say, at 45 MPH, and the F250 behind me that ran over it.... ITs probably not repairable. It actually isn't very beat up, but the round mounting part got bent quite a bit. Very frustrating. I've never touched these, don't know why it suddenly got loose.

Anyone knows any good deals on tips to replace? Just need OEM turbo tips. I will have to powdercoat black.

Sorry to thread hijack, but I'm also looking for tips, but the 70mm dual tips that will fit a Europipe Loud exhaust. Please PM me if you can help.

OP, I may have the original size dual tips for sale if you are interested.

I guess I should post in WTB section, but I need to come up with one, or a set of these asap. Please help. Hate driving around with 1 tip on the back. Embarrassing

I need them to be excellent condition off of a turbo. Kind of an oval with a flat bottom. If anyone can send them to me powdercoated flat black, that would be an added bonus


I need this style:
