The rear fascia "notch" where the pipes come out the back is the same size 
for either style pipe, yet there have been some reports of heat warped 
fascias from improper upsized exhaust tips. I'm not saying these particular 
ones are a problem... I'm sure Bruce would know. Just a caution to anyone 
who thinks any tip can be slapped on with no possible downside. (The 
vendors, of course, only have the larger tips as a part of the whole muffler 
assembly.)
