Exhaust Tips

I am having a custom exhaust made for my 05 MCSC, and I am looking for some exhaust tips. The outlet of the mufflers is 2.5" and and I am looking for a straight circular tip that will fit the 2.5" pipe coming out of the mufflers. The mufflers are made by Magnaflow and surprisingly they only have one tip that fits 2.5" pipe, and it has an outter diameter of 4". No way I can get two of those in the space of the current exhaust tips.
I realize I probably can't go with a double walled tip as then the outter diameter again gets kind of large.
I am looking for something to the effect of this


Whether it is a double tip or two singles I don't care. I just need suggestions!

I used the Pacesetter tips in the past with very good results. The stickers come with but they are not attached. The only thing I didn't like was the yellow on the inside of the tips but I took care of that with some high temp black paint. Overall very pleased. The Pacesetter tips are available at quite a few places both online and in store.

I know I like that one too because it isn't chrome. Not really a fan of chrome myself. But it only has an inlet of 2.25"-so it won't fit. I don't think anything that fits on the stock exhaust is going to fit, as those are only like 2" in diameter themselves (with just an eyeball measurement).

Whoever is bending the system should be able to expand the inlet of that tip to fit.

Well I called them to find out what size tip I needed, and they said whatever size the outlet pipe from the mufflers is. To me, the difference between 2.25" and 2.5" isn't all that much, but to them it might be. Plus I am not sure if the pipes coming from the exhaust will be joined into one, with one pipe for the tips, or if there will be 2. I guess it depends on what type of tips I bring them.

Have you considered a single muffler system? That would solve the problem of having 2 tips and it saves a bit of weight.

No I haven't. I like the way the Magnaflow sounds, but they don't have one out for the 'vert. Hence having it custom made.

Hrmmm, if you using a Magnaflow exhaust, why not use the Magnaflow tips? I personally like them, but are they 2.5"?

I am not a fan of the trumpets, and they don't list them seperately on the site.
