New Exhaust tips - Jinzen - 18-01-2014 05:47pm Really awful exhaust tips from factory, so I replaced them. $150 installed at a local exhaust shop (Couldn't justify Magnaflows which would have been like $150 just for the tips, these are some other brand stainless steel ones).

Looks much better. I did the same. Got Magnaflows of a member for half price. Still paid £50 for fitting though RE: New Exhaust tips - donot521 - 17-02-2014 03:10pm Just wondering how did they attach the tip Weld it on or just clamp RE: New Exhaust tips - Jinzen - 17-02-2014 03:14pm (17-02-2014 03:10pm)donot521 Wrote: Just wondering how did they attach the tip Welded, no proper exhaust job is ever clamped really. RE: New Exhaust tips - mstraka - 18-02-2014 03:02pm I guess its all one's opinion but why do you consider the round stock tips awful? The designers did it right. The stock is stainless (which turns a slight metallic colored hue from heat over time), and they have curled tip edges that makes them a high quality item. I believe that changing to a dark coloration aftermarket resulted in an expenditure for a part that is of less quality than stock.

Stock quality is fine but the look is out of place and dinky on a luxury car. The Dynamic has it right, and all of the others (Mercedes, BMW) did it right. RE: New Exhaust tips - speary - 19-02-2014 02:04pm IMHO the originals on my SD4 looked too small. The Magnaflows I now have look much better. These were welded on. I am not keen on the Dynamic exhausts as they seem to be trims in the bumper and you can see the round piped inside them |
