BlimeyCabrio used these and I think these are some of the best tips i've seen. Slash cut and 3" with some etched "thermal" logos are pretty similar. They're $50 a piece at jcwhitney

I guess if its the real deal JCW exhaust I'd spend the money to have some proper tips for it. The etched name on the tips is what would do it for me. I really like the jcw style thus those thermal ones are similar but a bit larger. I'm doing a one-ball so the name on the tips means nada.

I'd get the OEM tips.



On another note, I think the previous owner had my tips pulled out more...
