and thats not a cheap tip either, but looks sweet

The way the newer tips secure to the muffler is the difference. DJ, your chrome tip is actually a sleeve that fits over the already welded on smaller oval tip of the original muffler. It is secured by the 2 screws on the left and right side of the sleeve. On the newer 03 mufflers, they were made without any tips on them at all, so you just see a hole and bracket where the newer 03 tips would bolt onto.
