RE: Tips

Those look like the ones that are being sold on Ebay. The only complaint that I have heard about them is that the installation with just the bolts / clamps are not tight enough, which cause them to rattle a bit.

I suggested that welding would solve the problem... not sure if anyone has done that yet.

But as far as I am concerned, those are pretty good. I am looking into purchasing a pair soon enough. Please post pictures if and when you do purchase and install

RE: Tips

I'm looking for the exact same thing for a friend of mine. Do you have a part number or some other info which could help me out?

RE: Tips

Great timing. I just received these "yesterday" and they installed with ease however they did not get that tight. I was dissapointed but plan to stop by a muffler shop to see about welding them on. They look great and I realize they do nothing for performance like a full exhaust but if they cannot be welded on I will remove them.

RE: Tips

Is it possible to "build-up" the area around the pipe to get a tighter fit?

RE: Tips

No. It seems to be the head is not a bolt but a flat square piece of metal that is held in place by the bracket therefore not supposed to spin but when you tighten it it moves and will work itself to where it will spin when you are tightening the nut. There may be a way to wedge something in s you are tightening so it won't spin. If this can happen then it should be able to get as tight as needed.

RE: Tips

FOR SALE: Exhaust tips pictured in this thread. $100.00 USD.

I was unable to get them tight and did not go to the muffler shop to see if they can weld them on. I think I am just going to put Brabus exhaust on.
