Looking for black tips

I should be getting my MBRP SI/DO here shortly and I want to end it with black tips 45'd. I looked online and have only found the diesel tips, which are like 5" and ridiculous. I figure 4" is as big as I need to go. Anyone have any sources or other suggestions? And the ones I've found aren't cheap either.

No big hurry as I won't be doing this until I put my new wheels and tires on in December, if I can wait that long.

Thanks in advance.

Find a tip that you like and powder coat it.

Thanks frog. How would the powdercoating stand up to the heat produced by the exhaust?

Took me a second, but I got it. Pretty funny. I left myself wide open on a few others, so to speak, but I won't point them out.

Powder coat will hold up to EGTs much better than almost any spray on paint, and will be 100 times as rugged. Rock chips won't be near as big of issue. If you are going with a black tip, powder coat is the ONLY way to go.
