The stillen tips don't look like stock at all. They are round and flush cut while oem tips are oval and angle cut. For a stock look you need the Berk cbe. I've had the stillen exhaust for over 12,000 mi and it's great. Even with high flow cats there is never any drone or resonance. My only complaint is stillen used cheaper stainless steel on the tubing which gets surface rust. The muffler, tips, and resonators are higher quality stainless and look perfect still. Not a big deal, but other aftermarket exhausts are made completely from the higher grade stainless. Stillen claims it'll never perforate and has a lifetime warranty if it does. So I'm still safe.

The tips can be made flush with the rear bumper at the top of the tip if you push the muffler as far forward as possible before tightening the slip joints. The flush cut means the lower tip will always stick out a little. I don't mind this at all. I can try to post a pic later.

I love the sound of my Stillen CBE. I once turned up the stereo to overcome the stock exhaust. Now I often turn off the music just to hear the low note sound. It looks bigger than stock exhaust tips. I don't think it hangs down, and if it does, insignificantly. It certainly does not drag and scrape.

Stillen has sales too. I got a free Stillen CAI with mine.

Welcome to the forum.
