Default Oval exhaust tips

I have a T/A, and i was looking at a set of oval exhaust tips. I found a set of Ractive tips that look to be about what i want, but they have two different sizes. I'm looking at the larger one, which is 8.5" X 6". Are these tips the same ones that TSP is using on their rumbler exhaust? or are they using the smaller ones?, Because if they're using the smaller ones, i don't think the tips would look that great on the exhaust cut outs in the rear bumper on my car. Thanks for the help.

This is a truely unique product that has a massivity and strength that you will never find in a rolled-edge, sheet metal tip.


Massivity--my new word for the week! Awesome, and awesome looking tips.

my buddy's Ractive "Smoke" tips that he got with his rumbler look really good, they fill the back pannel very well.
the chrome tips i got with my rumbler where not the same style, mine were magnaflow tips. my tips are noticably small than his, and i personally like the bigger tips better.

Do you have the part number for the tips are you talking about? I think you are referring to the Ractive T815 (big) and the T820 (smaller). These are the two tips I considered for my true duals, and from all my research, I believe the the T815 is the one used on the TSP rumbler. Both are available in black chrome now, too. I'm going with the T820 because I thought the T815 would be too big. The T820 looks like it will frame well in the bumper cutouts and there will be a more uniform space all the way around.
