Replacing Exhaust Tip???

I have an MPx DP and the stock cat back. I get a hard time about having an exhaust tip that is much smaller than the exhaust cutout in the bumper on the TC.

I am thinking about maybe just getting a Magnaflow exhaust tip (or another nice brand) and having it welded on, replacing the stock tip.

What size outlet would be appropriate and not ricey? What size should the inlet of the tip be?

Maybe a muffler with a larger exhaust tip?

Any help would be appreciated...

Looks like the MPX downpipe knocked your tip off-center, too.

Yeah, another reason I want to replace the muffler or the tip. It will give the guys down at the shop a chance to center things perfectly. Just don't know what size tip will look good in the bumper hole.

Take a measurement of the hole, knock 2 inches off, and there's your Diameter.

I wish we had "thanks" buttons like my android forums. Anyways, thanks guys. I think an angle cut 4" tip will look nice. What would the inlet side be? Stock exhaust is 2.5" or 3"?

What is the stock exhaust pipes for the LNF? Not the tip, but the actual exhaust pipe coming out of the muffler? I am ordering a 4.5" outlet tip, but what size should the inlet of the tip be?
