AliExpress Quad Exhaust Tips Installed
Just thought I'd share my experience with this product.
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32568...andl_shipto=US Install: VERY easy process. Removal of the existing tips took minutes (only two screws per side). The fitment was great and snug—once tightened, they feel very solid with zero movement. Quality: I was really impressed here. I wasn't expecting much since the price was so low but to my surprise, the fit and finish were great. They almost have a stock look/feel. Price: As noted above, these tips are relatively cheap in price but surprisingly great on quality. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this product. I love the look and achieved exactly what I was hoping for. Looks are subjective but I feel it makes the rear more aggressive. |

[QUOTE=ZM240i;29907792]Looks good for sure.
Your link shows a few different models. So you got the "Carbon Fiber J"? No. I got black. I think the link just defaults to carbon for some reason. |

They look great! Thanks for sharing the great photos and info. Very similar to WMS quad original black tips (before they went matte black) but without the logo on top. I would guess WMS might be higher quality but looks just about the same on the car.

Yes, I originally wanted to order WMS but they no longer offered the original black tips. I also wasn't crazy about the logo on them—I prefer a more stock look. |

They look great for sure! I have the exact same ones on mine since 6 months.
So just a little warning… Unfortunatly, they only lasted about 6 weeks before the gloss black paint started to flake. The paint quality is really poor on these Aliexpress tips, and not resistant to the heat the exhaust produces. I did not give up on them, as they do look good and are the perfect size! So had mine refinished at a quality dealer. They had them refinished in a high heat resistant black finish. Wich is more matte/satin look. And are holding great ever since. The price of the refinish was about the same as the tips themselfs. I was told that any high gloss black finish will most likely always flake off after a while. Also the WMS ones are flaking apparently after a short time. Just a heads up, that if it happens to you, there’s still a solution ;-) |

I figured they had to be too good to be true—price is right, install was easy and they look incredible. Fingers crossed I get some longevity out of them. Thanks again for sharing your experience. |

The original factory exhaust exits are not high gloss, so a matte / satin finish on quads should look fine.

Mine showed up today. I haven't put them on yet. I was surprised at how fast they came. 6 days from order to delivery in Florida. Hopefully, the finish will hold up. If not, I guess I will have them powder coated.

Amazingly, mine arrived in only 4 days from order, but then again shipping isn't cheap. I will be installing after work today

This thread motivated me to install a silver set I’ve had for a few months.
Let me say, this is not for those with OCD lol. Spent longer then I should have aligning them. I found to tighten the top Allen, loosening the exhaust hanger just to the last threads and a stubby ratchet gives enough room to tighten.
