Exhaust tips

andjeas · 01-17-2019, 08:06 AM

Hey!

Gonna install another diffusor on my car, at the same time I would like to change the exhaust tips to some bigger ones to fill out the diffusor more nicely..

Anyone know were you can buy bigger tips (diameter) that doesnt require to cut off the old ones? Or is that the only option to cut the old ones off?

Thanks

You just pull the stock tips off. Lightly tap them from underneath with a blunt object and then they just slide off. Just don't yank them off iff you're planning to keep them.

Most popular tips for us are Active Autowerke and VRSF

I just ordered some knock offs of dhgate.com that look like the real BMW was only $250 for the set of 4 with shipping vs $250 per for the real deal. Still have not received them yet but can post pics once I do. I wanted genuine ones but $1k for some tips is absurd.

I have some Active Autowerke on mine in brushed chrome. They look great and fitment is perfect.

Install takes about 20 minutes. I sprayed some WD-40, then used a hard plastic piece and a mallet to loosen the tips. Then just pull off.

I think the tip opening is 90mm. Definitely an improvement on stock.

Can you provide the links to the exact ones you bought? How long did it take to receive?

ciannotta1385 · 01-25-2019, 03:44 PM

They were quick, maybe 2 weeks.

I haven't installed yet and am a little concerned that the outside parameter maybe too large for them to sit next to each other. Not sure there is enough space will confirm after install.

ciannotta1385 · 01-26-2019, 11:47 AM

Test fit pictures below. They fit however I personally do not like how far they stick out and that the rivers show. Will need to cut down the exhaust pipe probably about 2 inches for my preferred look

Hmmm... and that's with the tips all the way on? If so, the numbers don't add up to me. I've measured my stock non-MPE tips with a micrometer and they're 116mm long. The Active Autowerke tips in post #8 are spec'd at 119mm long. The dhgate ones are listed as 125mm, so that's slightly less than 1/2 inch longer than stock. Your photos seem to show they extend way more than that.

ciannotta1385 · 01-27-2019, 09:33 AM

They're in all the way however the way they are designed all the way is only half way. They have a second smaller diameter piece for the perforated part so that is causing the problem with them stick out. I'll post a pick of the inside from the other side later
