Should I get a diffuser before getting new exhaust tips?

Deluxx3 · 02-16-2016, 07:14 PM

Recently I was rear ended

and one of my exhaust tips got bent...

I saw this as an opportunity to get new tips (Cyba) but I also am getting a new rear bumper because the girl who hit me damaged the rear end and her insurance company is paying for a replacement. So now that I will have a new bumper, I am thinking of buying a Vorsteiner Style rear diffuser. One of these: http://i48.tinypic.com/el642g.png

So my question now is should I get the diffuser first and then do the exhaust or exhaust first and then the diffuser? The reason I am asking is because I think (correct me if I am wrong) that the tips would be too short for the new diffuser if they are installed for the stock one. Is it possible to even extend exhaust tips once they are on?

Opinions?

yes I'll get the diffuser first and after that look at the exhaust tips and then get them mounted so they look flush with it or however far extended you want them to be

Diffuser first so when you weld the muffler you only have to do it once
