Also FYI the size of the interchangeable tips for 2003-4 is larger and corresponds nicely with the deeper rear bumper valence. The new tips next to an older bumper hang below that valence a bit and could be considered a styling mismatch. It's really ok, but the pro stylists changed both parts.
I'm well aware that the tips don't change the sound.
My exhaust is modified already and it sounds very nice to me, so I'm not interested in changing the exhaust, just the tips. And the reason I bought the 03-04 S tips is like you said, they are bigger and fill the rear bumper opening quite nice. I've seen one already that was done at a garage, and the tips didn't look like they were hanging.
