TIPS!

As I had mentioned, I ordered the DC Sports EX-1013 from Amazon.com and they came in today (2 days earlier than their revised estimate of Oct.26th) - score!

Almost made myself late for work trying to get them just how I wanted.

I had seen someone that twisted the head off of the bolt for their OEM tips, so, I took the added step of giving each of them a squirt of WD-40.

Some people have done it in less time, but, I am by no means a shadetree mechanic. I am embarassed to say how long it took, so, don't ask. Maybe its the OCD kicking in. I actually tried to measure them, but, I found it difficult and ended up just eyeballing them. I guess impatience outweighs OCD. They seem solid, but, I will double check the tightness and alignment in a few days.

I have to say that they are a definite visual improvement. Supposedly, they are resonated, but honestly, if they sound different, I cannot tell. This will tie me over until I have enough money for a better exhaust (and time to research).
