I tried the stealth bulbs but the bulbs seat to deep into the lamp making the signal to dim during day light

It was $75.00 each tip and the powder coating shop charged $75.00 per tip.

The mufflers were provided by Royal muffler, so I don't have the part # I just measure them to give you guys the specifications, another member just got the ones you posted with 2.25 piping and should be no problem installing them.

Wait, $300 to powder coat them? I've gotten rims powdercoated for that...

I sprayed my tips with plastidip a couple months ago (took a total of 15 minutes to pull them, spray them, and reinstall) and they still look flawless (yes I know plastidip is crap but it's a lease, i have to be able to return it to stock). You could also use stove/grill paint...

Not to hate, because the tips look awesome, just wanted to offer a less expensive alternative...

I could have gone the cheap way, but I’m very happy with the results. After all, its a MB and has a one of a kind set up.
