Anyone recently add 2004.5 oval tip to C320?
After using search I saw a post by JimB about adding a single oval tip back in 2003. Just wanted to see pics of anyone who has done it more recently along with the purchase, install info.

Am I the only one who likes this look?
Anyone else like the oval tail pipe and would like it on their C240 or C320 besides me?

What about this? Does not even require cutting the bumper.

Jkw: Thank you!
Noble C320: So far, I've only sanded away at the existing bumper opening to make the tip fit in there better, but I plan to sand some more to make a nicer opening for it cuz it's kinda close to the metal right now and I don't want to worry about melting.
Anaheim_Drew: Caliber Motors in your area has a great price on the oval tip ($100, I think). That's where I got mine. With some minor bumper adjustment and a little welding, the oval tip fits great and looks even better!

The whole process took about 15 minutes. I had them weld the bottom piece directly to the exhaust and the top pieces to the OEM tips (you'll understand what I mean when you see the 04.5 tip and slide it over the existing tips). It also requires cutting the bent parts of the OEM tips, which took a couple of minutes, prior to welding the new tip. I doubt any shop would charge more than $100 for the whole install, but probably less.As for the sways, I'm planning to get those done when I get the cupkit...probably a few months.
