Default replacing exhaust tips - TurboXS

hey guys. im not really digging the look of the TurboXS exhaust tips, a bit too stockish IMHO. therefore, i was thinking about replacing them, so i had two questions:

1 - i've read in another thread that you can have a muffler shop cut off, and then weld new tips. so do i have to match the diameter on the inlet side?

2 - can anyone recommend a site or vendor that sells just exhaust tips? or should i just look at honda civic/ricer sites?

thanks in advance!

Your better off just going to shop and see what they have. U just have to have a good welder that is used to doing custom work.. U could prolly google welders/exhaust shops in ur local area. There's good shops in edison/amboy but i forgot the names

Any muffler shop will do it nd all shops have tips there in stock. Look around at several shops and pic the one you like. BTW this will bring the value of the exhaust down
