Be careful as tip fitment is tricky. I started this thread to try to get the information in one place.

Those new tips do look terrific! What a difference. For what its worth there's a Sport Exhaust coming out for $786. I believe it will have different tips (and probably exhaust note) as well.

Turns out that part number is a muffler system and lists for $698. I didn't get the number for the left and right tips. I am going to the dealer later this afternoon and will take a look at that option and hopefully get a part number and a picture. The release date will be 3/25 from Germany for the 18 20 2 181 271 and usually take 5 days to reach the dealer.
I did an inspection the other night last week to see if our CM tips have the set screws on the tips like my R53. No such luck.
It looks as if the tips need to be cut off to be able to slip a new style tip over.

If you get it done, let me know which shop you went to. I'm also in the Seattle-area and I'm curious to see who can it

I took GeoffreyM's photos to Airport Welding in Snohomish, right along Harvey Field. They have tips that look identical. They just need to match up the diameter, and make it happen.

Got mine done!
I took mine yesterday to get my tips done- they didn't have tips that look like Geoffrey's but I'm happy with their look. They are also a little louder and a little throatier than stock, though it's very subtle.

Nice look Sirius. Do you happen to know what diameter the connection end is? Do they slip over the stock pipes where there were cut off? I have a friend who is going to do my tips after my car shows up. So I will need to go purchase the tips myself.
Oh, and I hear that the "Grand Legacy" is supposed to arrive at Oxnard Tomorrow!! My MA says 5- 9 days is typical to arrive at Seattle MINI after port arrival. So maybe I will have it in 10 days or so. I can't believe it's almost time to go motoring!

My CM took 5 days from port to arrive at NW MINI... you're on the last stretch!! Almost home! You're going to have so much fun!
