Default Got in a fender bender, HKS Hi-Power tip trashed.. replacements?

Title pretty much sums it up. I have the hi power cat back and need a single tip, I rolled the damaged tip back to close to the original shape but I'm not satisfied with it. Anyone find a slip on tip that fits and is the same or close to the same quality? Here's what I found so far:

http://www.apexi-usa.com/store/exhau...fler-tips.html

Unfortunately since HKS closed its doors to the US market I have no way to contact them and no vendors I contacted could help me out. Apexi tip looks kind of shitty and I need to take measurements for the Greddy tip also Greddy tip is straight cut mines angled so I'd Have to buy 2 Greddys. Anyone find a replacement of the same fit and quality without jumping through 100 hoops?

I would make a post here in our private marketplace WTB (wanted) thread:

https://my350z.com/forum/exhaust/557...uy-thread.html

Sometimes people have them lying around

Posted, thanks Waizzz. Figure its worth a shot but I doubt anyone has extras. Also looked into the motordyne, they have them but I would have to cut the inlets and drill holes for mounting. Also need to take measurements for them and make sure they will fit. If I don't get any hits on the exhaust wtb thread I'll re-post in here with whatever solution I find since it seems no one has really found much, I've looked everywhere.

No problem, I would also make a post here in the Vendor wanted:

I would also suggest you talk to a reputable exhaust shop in your area, they might be able help make it a little less noticeable

Well what I did is I grabbed a machinist block and a hard steel pipe, wrapped the tip in masking tape put the pipe through it and used my body weight and the pipe on the block and kind of rolled it back into shape if that makes any sense. It looks good, I wouldn't say 100% but its at about 95. I'm going to continue looking for a replacement though because there's no way I'm paying 2k for an exhaust tip.

I did some digging, found these:

Those are what the replica HKS exhaust guys have been using, maybe worse case scenario you could just run those if you can't find the HKS?

I may just do that i'm coming up empty handed and really theres no point in going through all the hassle for authentic HKS there aren't even any markings or anything to distinguish the two. I'll just have to drill these or drill the exhaust and convert it to a one bolt setup on the bottom. As it is I don't like the bolts on the sides anyway I'd rather have just one thats hidden.
