Interstate exhaust tips on a Tourer

My 2000 Tourer had Cobra pipes when I bought it, but it came with the stock pipes wrapped up in a box.  I pulled them out yesterday and unwrapped them for the first time.  They are in nearly perfect condition (<1000 miles) however the left tip has a nasty scratch on it.

I am going to have to buy a tip before I sell 'em or install 'em, so here's my question.  I like the way the Interstate pipes reach to exit at the rear of the saddlebags.  If I purchase Interstate tips, will they fit right on the Tourer pipes to look like Interstate pipes?

Suppose I could accomplish this with new stacks, but that is more work and I may still just sell these and get aftermarket pipes.  

Thanks...

If you are going to sell them, why bother getting another end.

Just tell em up front 1 tip has been scratched.

In the long run it will probably save ya some change.

The small pipes coming out the end of the exhaust canisters (piggies) are bent into a vertical stack on the Tourer.  And on the Interstate they are in a horizontal position.  So, unless you cut off the piggies, I don't think tips from an I/S will fit.
  To keep from causing damage to a nice original set of pipes, why don't you get an 18" pair of straight cut tips to put on.  It will look much nicer than either Tourer or I/S tips.

I believe I got mine many years ago from Mark T.  Might also try AirFlow.

OK...here ya go, you can take from it here.  The 18" tips are listed.

Thanks.  Knew he had stacks; didn't realize you could just buy tips.

My tips are just really short stacks.  :)
