Pictures load alright. Just be careful with the rest of the photo stream, lol. Some things you can't unsee.

I'll let you know how it fits when I get it....should be next week or so. They are shipped out of China.

This is the one I might order. I love the descriptions below

Here's what the tip looks like installed. I LOVE the way it looks. I do, however, have one complaint. The screws/bolts that they give you to mount it in place are worthless. I installed it with a ratchet and put them as tight as I possibly could. By the time I got to my destination, it had slid off and was dangling, about ready to fall off. I talked to my mechanic and he's just going to weld it on so it's permanent. He's going to do it for free since my family gives him a ton of business and it'll only take him 30 seconds.

darn, that's the model I ordered too. I was hoping the screwed/bolts would do the job, I don't want to loose it somewhere in the street! Thks for the tip, I'll try to look for someone who could weld it on...

No issues here. Been a over a week and still is nice and snug.

Yep. There are three threaded studs that you use to secure it to the exhaust pipe. You'll need a hex driver or allen key for that. Get those nice and tight.

Then there are three nuts that go over each of the threaded studs. Those secure the threaded studs and keep them from loosening. Tighten those down and you should be good to go. As I mentioned, mine is not going anywhere. After reading some of the other posts, I rechecked mine and as I said it is not going anywhere. Nice and tight.
