kind of strange question

I am desperatley trying to get my hands on an Invidia exhaust for a 06 MCS and the only thing that stands in my way is apparently the tips.
The tips on the Invidia are not to my liking, but neither are the stock beer cans, so i wanted to know...
can i cut the tips of the Invidia off and weld on some JCW tips?
will it effect sound? performance? anything like that?

thanks
Happy Motoring

You could paint them black, that way they would blend in with the lower trim.

Powder coat them then. Powder coating can stand to just about anything
