As mentioned, my diffuser is a ebay knockoff and still looks new. 4 inch tips fill the opening perfect. This diffuser fits like a glove and n easy install.

Shop did it all. I provided the tips and showed the shop pics of how the Dinan tips look installed and he said he can match it but he said he have it more flush and I agreed. I trusted his idea and it came out perfect.

Not my flavor but looks like quality chinesium. The welds came out good too.
If I do anything to my exhaust, I will keep my original tips but I'm happy with just dps so far. |

If I was to change the exhaust on my car, I would ensure that it retains the original tips. Personally, I'm a fan of the oem+ look. Ultimately, it comes down to what the owner likes. |

Not gonna lie, I moved to a Dinan exhaust 99% for the look and 1% for the sound.

SoCal is a pretty wide net....San Diego? Riverside? Los Angeles? Santa Barbara? I would go to a few shops and look at the cars they work on...if they do higher end cars, they would probably do it. Just because one shop doesn't do it...I would bet another one would.

There definitely is enough space, they just aren't skilled enough. Try other shops, for sure you can find a shop with skilled workers.
