ImSort0fABigDeal has 4" tips I believe. Sometimes they look too big, sometimes they look just right. I think it's dependent on the style of tips your get (staggered, angle-cut, etc.). But 90mm/3.5" is generally the perfect size for an M5 bumper/Hamann diffuser.
I thought you already got new tips @ Valley Muffler?

Yeah, I just went to go take a look at some Magnaflow tips that were 4" round. Way too big for my taste. I think I'm going to stick to 3.5" tips. I'd like to get the Eisenmann oval tips, but even the reps cost 700 installed.
I went to Valley muffler, but they said they didn't have any and couldn't do anything about the setup.
And...my quest to find tips continues.......

I think AAA has Eisenmann for $700 installed.
Also, EVS motors in Texas sells Eisenmann reps for $450 shipped. It looks nice. They're a custom shop.

I called EVS today and he (Ted) said that they have sold all their tips after showing that M6 pic on the forum. He expects to have more made by next week.

If I could fit that magnaflow exhaust on both sides, I'd do it. Unfortunately, I can't.
EVS number: 832-667-7256 Might be possible to get a group buy going. Site
The 4" magnaflow tips looked ridiculously big. I think 3.5" is going to by max.
I wish there were some cheaper way to fabricate oval exhausts. I'll keep on looking.
