I have cme but never thought that I could fit true duels to them. I actually had custom tips made up because the original ones are starting to crack.

SLP actually supplied the later CME tips with extra bracing due to this problem...when I ordered another set from them right before they got rid of their extra stock, they came with a pretty sizable piece of square tubing welded right behind the dinky brace that was supposed to hold them together.

The CME tips aren't anything special that can't be worked around...people have mated them to all types of exhaust, including true duals like what I had done years ago by Speed Inc.

Started the car after I got all the clamps n stuff on and it sounds awesome and I love it took it up n down the road and let my friend drive it up n down the road to hear it and let the exhaust settled where it wanted to go only noise I haer is where the x pipe goes through the ds loop might put a bracket before the pipe go over the axle to hold it off the loop.. also gota push the tips back a little, to far out for my liking. Will have vids tomor

I'm interested in knowing what you did at the tip connection. I noticed that you cut the 2.5" extension off the cme which left you an oval shape. Did you ovalize the 3" to mate to the tips. Awesome work btw I'm glad to see people forging forward on 4th gens.
