Default Black exhaust tips help 09 528i xDrive

Been looking to have black exhaust tips put onto my 09 528 E60 and have found a few options on eBay.

Just putting the thread out to see if anyone had any better options or could help me decide if the one I found was decent:

Black Exhaust Tip

The seller has 2 different inlet sizes (2.5" and 3"), but I believe the correct size is the 2.5," would appreciate confirmation on that as well.

I plastidipped mine.. Been on there and perfect for a year now..
dip can withstand up to 350 degrees.. Won't be an issue at all.
just put 3 or 4 coats.. Will cost ya 5 bucks and take you about 20 minutes.

Unless of course you're looking for a bigger size..

Dont go to the dealer! When I bought my 2008 550i it was missing one tip so I figured what the heck.....$80.00 for an exhaust tip later. Mine are the black ones that are andionized or whatever the word is.....

Hmm, I have used PlastiDip before, I suppose I could just do that.

That $80 doesn't seem too bad maybe i'll call to see if they can do it.

Thanks for the help.

I bought my first set of exhaust tips from this website. They aren't too bad.

Any sound difference with those tips?

I wouldn't mind upgrading the exhaust sound to be a bit louder/deeper...
