Exhaust tip for 451

Hi All
The price for a brabus exahust is kind of expensive so I am considering other options.
I would like to buy double exhaust tip for my cabrio but I am looking for opinions, comments and ideas
Here is an example.

Unfortunately, none of the exhaust tips I've seen (including the one in your link) will fit the US-spec 451.

Hmm... lots of people worrying about more flow-through exhaust. But then put a a "hard 90" tun at the outlet... counterproductive ?

I believe that tip was made for the 450 or euro models. It will NOT work on the US 451 model. I'd love to have one, BUT-T-T, awww nuts, it just won't work. Cheerz, SmartChip

The ad states that these tips will fit any 451 2007? and UP....
Now .. the question is What is the difference in the exhaust between the 451 US and the European one.

The Non US/Canada mufflers tale pipes exit the end of the muffler and curve out. Why ours have to come out in the front doesn't make much sense.

I'm happy with the sound of the stock exhaust. I would like to be able to dress up the tip though. It would seem that someone would come up with an exhaust tip like the one shown in the first posting since there seems to be interest.
