EP6110 Big ovals
those are the tips I got with my WB swag. From going thru the search, it appears they are NB and TT tips, and I need the offset inlet EP7110 version.
Correct?
So, what options are currently available for getting wide ovals for my WB...and NO I'm not spending $600 to get them from Gert-that's just WAAAAy too much money. SO, any other current options besides oem?
I read Darin and Mark were tinkering with it, but not yet available. Is it even possible to rebuild these for WB use?
What woud these tips be worth?-slight scuff's on bottom, but otherwise pretty nice.
Thanks all

Magdaddy,
I am in the same boat and have been researching this. wrote to Fister motorsports and he said they had it in planning but were swamped right now and not sure when they'd get to it. For WB they don't seem to come up used OEM very often. I am probably going to go with these. The best I can find shape wise look like maxspeed motorsports. They are the correct width/height for OEM ovals. I preferred without the rolled tip but otherwise these look good and from old posts a good company to deal with and reasonable quality. Reasonable price and could wait a long time till someone else makes them.

Fabspeed also sells some but they look a bit smaller to me (though haven't seen in person and can't find measurements). I have had one of their exhausts and very good quality mufflers and tips.

hopefully others will chime in if they have heard of some others. I would guess your tips would be worth quite a bit given how rare they are. But i believe the TT and NB, while can work are not exactly the same - different lengths though correct in that neither is offset. Just might stick out too far or not far enough depending on which car they go on - seem to look OK either way.

I had the EP 6110 on my NB before I found some brand new EP5110 locally for 230 USD. They 5110 looked good.The EP 5110 just stick out a little bit more.

I think I might have some pics with them on the car.
I ended up biting the bullet and got the OEMs after Darin told me his wouldn't be ready for a while. Very happy with the OEMs, btw.

that is interesting. could you tell what was rattling? If you have some pics please post. The only other feedback I could find on them was OK. but agree, the rolled tip is no comparison for the OEM straight edge

I couldn't return them because a few weeks later I scraped the bottoms of them on a driveway. It was after the rattling started, but no way to prove it of course. The scrapes are minor, but no doubt they'd blame me for the weld breaking. I still have them sitting in the garage. Not too happy with the quality or the looks, despite the rattling.
Here are some crops of the car with both tips. The one with the Maxspeeds was taken last year (the light was different, etc., so the colors don't match; car is Polar Silver.)
Sorry, the OEM tips are a bit dirty. The aftermarket ones look like they belong on an old Triumph or MG, imho. I can post pics from a distance, too, if the crops don't work for you.

NB, WB & TT tips are all different. The NB tips have the take off pipe on the rear centred, the WB & TT ones have this pipe offset on both sides, the difference between the WB & TT is the distance they stick out from the PU, both will fit either WB or TT. The NB ones are only good for NB cars

Take a cheesy WB tip and hacked it apart. Take wide Fat NB tip cut off and weld to WB bent pipe. There are no better looking tips than the OEM wide ovals period.

that picture says it all. I could live with the rolled tip but the whole shape is wrong - to squished top to bottom. Don't understand why that shape/style is so hard to replicate. may have to bite the bullet also. just expensive for what they are.
thanks

An inside weld broke. If you pushed up on it, it would stop rattling (it wasn't installation, it was the tip itself.)
I couldn't return them because a few weeks later I scraped the bottoms of them on a driveway. It was after the rattling started, but no way to prove it of course.

This is incorrect. NB and TT tips are centered. TT tips are shorter than NB tips. Only non-TT WB tips are offset. This is because they use the same mufflers as NB cars, so the tips need to be offset for the WB bumper. TT's have a completely different set of mufflers that do not require the offset tips.
