X50 style exhaust tips

I want to change my oval exhaust tips to the X50 style (double circle) tips. Anyone have experience with the Schnell tips sold on ebay? The price seems excellent and the style is right, but who knows if the fitment is decent. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

Kind of a nit-pick, but those are different than the OEM ones. The factory tips have the small circle as complete with the larger circle being the "C", opposite of what those are.

If you have ever polished your exhaust tips, you will hate these.

The two 'circles' join in the middle of the exhaust outlet from the muffler. Five minutes of engine running, and it's toasted to a ruddy brown.

After a few cycles of toasting and cleaning, it becomes harder to keep clean.

If on the other hand your exhaust tips look like they could be only remotely be made of some type of dull silver metal- then you'll love them.

Regards,
BD

These quad tip look so fake. You can see the inner single pipe when you lower your head. It's a poseur modt IMO. Don't do it!!
