Those look great. Do you think the 4" would have fit?

The goal was to get some 90mm tips. I also had to measure the outlet pipes on the oem muffler, which comes out to 2.5 inches. So with 2.5 outlet and 90mm tips as my goal I began looking. This where www.dimisatips.com came into play. It seems that a lot of the 335i e90 guys get these tips and almost all of the feedback I've read was positive. Plus the e90 335i's have an oem exhaust outlet of 2.5, so fitment would be perfect. I also liked the fact they are made here in the USA and made to order. So I went ahead and took a risk and bought two pairs off of their site. I purchased the silver v3.5's. They also offer a 102mm (4 inches), but I wasn't too sure if they would fit or not. These tips have an inlet of 2.25, which is perfect as they can be flared open just enough to slip over the oem outlet for a nice weld. Took a little over two weeks to get after I placed my order. They came in Friday and I had them installed Saturday.
Tips:
On the rack:
Measure twice cut once:
Lowered ready for surgery:
Point of no return:
One down. Proper measuring insured that the valves worked perfectly fine after.
The end of the world:
Now we are getting somewhere:
I chose not to shorten the length of the tips as I plan to get the vorsteiner diffuser soon and don't want the tips to look sunk.
Two on:
Nice and level:
All four:
I also recently installed the oem front cf lip and had the lower part of the bumper wrapped in gloss black vinyl to compliment. Horrible iphone pic:
