To get the functionality of the NPP would require adding the appropriate wire harnesses, the mufflers with the valves, and reprogramming the computers. I suspect it would get pricey pretty quick.

That said, Stainless Works and other companies make really nice polished tips in various shapes and sizes if you want the look of the bigger tips. As for sound and performance, I'd go with an aftermarket cat-back or axle-back exhaust from one of the aftermarket companies. There are some available now, and several more will be coming soon from what I've been able to find. I personally will wait for a cat-back system I like the sound of.
Thanks purple, appreciate the advice. I'll check stainless works out. As of this point, I am only looking for the most affordable way to have the appearance change. I do not need to change the sound or increase hp.

Would the difference in spacing be an issue for a muffler shop when putting 4" tips onto the mufflers that normally held the 3"?
