Default apexi ws with stock tips?

anyone done this? i love the way our stock exhaust tips look and id like to get a ws system for weight and sound (not too concerned about power aslong as i dont loose any)

i drive an AP2 and id like to keep that factory look. anyone wiht an ap2 and a ws system think you can do this and have it look right?

The WS tips are bigger than the stock AP2 (or AP1) tips. I would think you would need to hack the WS muffler to get what you want.

BTW, the WS exhaust isn't much lighter than the stock exhaust. If you want to save weight, get a single exhaust.

Problem is that the stock tips are meant to bolt into a different pipe coming out the muffler. The WS would need to have the tips cut, a new correctly-sized pipe welded, a hole drilled, then the factory tips put in.

It also might require the muffler hangers to be modified so they sit in the correct spot.
