Ding-ding-ding! We have a winner. Quad tips and that aggressive '09 rear were made for each other.

"Dual Rolled Stanless Steel Tip - ID: 2.25", OD: 3.5", Overall Length: 12"



Would that fit?

just called the toll free # for these guys on ebay...

Hey...I'm looking at tips on ebay and wanted to know if they would fit my 09 RL...

"Yes, they will"

How do you know, don't you want the auction #?

"Sure"

Blah blah blah, auction number.

"No sir, it won't fit"

Why not, you just said it would?

"The part is not in stock"

Can you tell me what the part is so I can check for it later?

"We don't have 09 RL in the catalog yet"

Wouldn't the tip for 08 TL fit RL?

"No it wouldn't"

What is the size of the RL pipe?

"3 inches"

Thanks...

---------

Does that make sense to anyone?

Yup it makes perfect sense. They have no clue!

You'll have to probably do some trial and error. Find a reputable shop that has specifications for exhaust tips and do some measuring on your part and go from there. You'll probably have to pioneer this one on your own....

I think I'm gonna get fired with those huge things on my screen.

I didn't realize posting an outside image does not get limited in size, THANKS!

How big is the entrance pipe and are those like 5" out?

Are you saying RL is 2.5" in? I've seen 2 1/4 mentioned in other places
