Default New exhaust going on questions about it

So I purchased the MBRP 4" aluminum straight pipe kit. No cat/muffler. I want to put a tip on it but I refuse to put a bolt on tip. Where can I find a aluminum tip? I want to weld the tip on. Any helps appreciated. Thanks!

you're exhaust isn't aluminum, its ALUMINIZED, its steel electro-aluminized, you can use any stainless tip, but i would let a proper welder do it, there's aluminum, steel and stainless involved

I recently just bought a 5" MBRP and bought the same for my old truck and had issues with both. Make sure you fit everything together before cutting anything. The say to cut here and there depending on your truck (ie long/ short bed, ext/reg/ 4dr) i followed the instructions on my first truck and it was way off, had to buy another piece of pipe. Checked it on my new truck and also would have been wrong. Just be careful. Other than that MBRP sounds amazing and their bolts on tips are nice no rattling or coming loose after they are on there just in case thats what youre worries about.
