Exhaust tips

Can anyone drop URLs for good exhaust tips? I am open to aliexpress tips as well but I heard they rust and look bad overtime so I am looking for real experiences and suggestions based on that. Thanks!

I got mine from Infiniteautowerks.

https://infiniteautowerks.com/shop/e...tips-clamp-on/

I liked the idea of the hose clamp rather than the weird 4 locking bolts (just personal pref). They were easy to fit, look good and have held up well over the last few months. To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me that they started life in China and were marked up in the US but I distrust buying from Ali etc.

They all come from aliexpress so you don’t really have many choices.

I can't recall seeing any , but if you were somehow able to find exhaust tips made either in the US or Europe - they would easily cost double or triple the exhaust tips that are all made in China, I would imagine.

I was initially opposed to buying parts directly from China, but after doing the smallest bit of research, I discovered that so called performance shops and websites are doing just that : buying parts from China , and adding their branding to the item.

Thanks guys, I ended up ordering some of the ali express ones that were linked in this thread. Way more comfortable ordering from there hearing other opinions about it!

I paid £81 from Ali for the all chrome quads and I'm pleased with the quality for the price.

Are these quads pushed all the way home because mine fit almost flush with the surround?

No, I tried to line up the M badge to the opening, they don’t sit very far forward, this pic is better

Ah yes....that looks about the same as mine in that picture. They look good.

I initially pushed mine on and they stopped moving until I applied a bit more pressure. Glad I did.

One is a little canted, the original exhaust isn’t straight so I can’t get that tip to sit level, it’s not normally visible especially when standing

Had the same issue with my factory exhaust.

After I installed the tips, the spacing around the tips wasn't uniform from side to side.

I had to loosen the exhaust hanger on the passenger side and add a bunch of washers so the piping would hang lower so the tips would be even.

It was driving me crazy.

Thanks, I’ll take a look and see if that will work for me

As you can see, it took quite a bit of washers to drop it down enough.
