Quad tips for MRT 2 question

So my MRT 2 has been on for a while now, just ordered and revieved the tips, put on the quad tip diffuser and realized these things are going to need some major work to be aligned with the diffuser.. How much is this going to cost me??

It costs me $120, the muffler guy just cut the axle back again, pushed it a little bit more "in" and then it will aligned.

I don't have the mrt2 but it cost me $120 also. My muffler guy had to weld the quad tips on and re-do the geometry of the pipe to fit into the NPP diffuser.

I think they have to do a lot of new geometry to make this work but I'm taking it around to different places today

I have MRT V1, but should be very similar. Many members have the same setup as yours done.

OK- I've got to post here one more time... Why doesn't MRT or some other manufacturer offer a quad tip axle back exhaust with a NPP diffuser as a kit that's ready to bolt on and go?

Seriously guys- you'd sell plenty. Am I right folks?

Cuz it is going to be a pain in the ass to ship a diffuser.

It cost me $220 and they where a pain to get aligned correctly I had to take it back twice and still I don't think they are perfect just yet

I have the MRT version 2 as well with 4" tips
This pic is before I took it back to get them re aligned they are going to have to cut the tips off then cut the pipes to get them to work. About 2 to 3 hours worth of work so $200 would be reasonable because of all the welds and required work
