I e-mailed him yesterday - Darin said they will not sell them anymore. The place that makes them doesn't produce them anymore.

No! The Turbo exhaust exits straight back like the NB exhaust. The other WB (C2S, C4S have the same exhaust system as the NB) tips require an offset to exit the WB cutout in the bumper that is further outboard than the NB cutout. The Turbo exhaust pipes are further outboard than the NB exhaust, which is why the Turbo tip goes straight back. BTW true Turbo tips are slightly shorter than the NB ones because I hear the Turbo engine sits back further.

A friend bought the tips for me from FD three weeks ago and I just got it today. Must be the last batch then.
