The first one I bought, and I thought it was too small and re-sold it on the forum.
I like your second Idea, I wonder if it possible to weld them together, I'm gonna see ICEMAN316 tomorrow and measure his tips.

I am assuming that a muffler shop can come up with a Y-connector to make these into duals. However, there is also standard Y-Pipes like the Magnaflow in the following picture. I just don't know if the distance between the two pipes is what you would need it to be to place the two tips next to each other with a small gap. Also the Y-Pipes add quite a bit of length (10-13"), I don't know how much of that can be cut off and shortened and whether you have enough room for the added depth. The best solution may still be to have the muffler shop make duals out of those without using a generic Y-Pipe.

I called them myself, 400 bucks per tip..wtf
I e-mailed the guy pics of the RDSport 90mm quad tips to a guy at AAA and his exact reply was 'i have alot better tips than the pics.,but if that is what you want.'. So this means he should have tips that look like the RD's......hopefully not for $400 each though!

thanks for all your help, I think I'm gonna get the individual 4.5" x 3" that rody posted, and ask the muffler shop to this without the mufflers i'm sure they can can split and bend the pipes to make it work

Steven, if you succeed in getting the muffler shop to make duals out of these please let me know. I am planning on doing that as well, but not with oval tips...just with round ones. I just can't find duals in the specific style and size that I want, so I may have to use singles and have the muffler shop make them duals.
