    Looks like the price of $36 is for a set of 2. Good deal!

    Thanks for the link. I picked mine up today. Stupid question - Are you supposed to slide them on as far as they can go or can you position them as you see fit?

    For those of you who have ordered from Keffer is there shipping when ordering, and hows the fit? I hate seeing the uneven line where the existing tip ends inside the new tip.

    Also when doing some research I came across these, does anyone have any experience with them? I like the perforated material on the inside and if it goes inside the existing exhaust it would hide the aforementioned uneven lines that I hate.

    Thanks for any feedback.

    Well I went ahead and ordered the ones from ebay but didn't like the fit, I couldn't get them on far enough so they stuck out about 1-2 inches farther than the stock and I just didn't like that. Also they are perfectly round where as the stock muffler is oval. I'm just not a fan of slop. If the buyer will take them back then I plan on ordering the ones from Keffer, and I'll report back.

    really really nice price!!!!

    although i bought mines a few weeks ago for $22 (tax included) a pair... on auto zone with the oval shape...

    they came with an inside clamp impossible to fit on the exhaust but i removed the top part of the clamp rounded the bottom part and they fit now very well

    Even the OEM ones, despite being oval, do not sit flush with the bottom of the pipeThe angle does not match exactly with the pipe. The top Allen screw is almost impossible to tighten as there is barely any space to get your hand in there.

    Do you happen to have a picture of how it looks installed? I'm curious how far off the angle is.

    Also, 1stvwparts.com has these for a little bit less:
