need exhaust tip

So i did the one ball mod but instead of keeping one muffler i literally cut the entire exhaust off before the battery and just stuck it out the side (with a small resonator, currently comes out where an r50 muffler would be) So now I'm cutting my battery out and moving it higher in the trunk and running a true straight pipe with a milltek header back. so I need to weld a new tip on and was wondering if anyone had any ideas.

You kind of lost me after you talked about raising the battery up. I’m just not sure why anyone would butcher out the battery box to raise the center of gravity and lose cargo space to accommodate a butchered up exhaust system.

If you’re still bent on that route hit up Summit or Jegs for exhaust tips.

Why not just run it around the battery box like the stock system does instead of making it complicated?
