What exhaust tips?

Does any body have any suggestions for a set of nice exhaust tips. Been looking round and the genuine ones are a stupid price for what they are. :o

Same here. Cheap enough to be expendable as well :thumbsup:

Just measured the exhaust on the car and they are nearly 70mm diameter and a slightly square shape. It looks like these tips are only around 65mm. Are they the right ones?

My 3.0si has a standard sized twin exhaust and these tips fit perfectly. Yours are slightly square you say - sounds non-standard?

I would say it has the standard back box. The father in law has owned the car for the past 10 years and never altered anything. Il measure them again tonight.

I have machine monkey (a member on here) trims on my Z4 and they clean up really easily. Also look pretty nice too :thumbsup:

Quality is good (not great - but good enough). Fitted in seconds. A lot less trouble than cleaning up the old ones, plus I rather like the slash cut ends.

Pretty sure OP has the same as me (pre FL) which have slightly oval shaped tips.

Nothing will fit properly unfortunately. I ended up polishing mine which looked great tho I wish they were a bit bigger to fill the bumper gap!

you’re right they are a slightly oval shape. I got some from amazon for an Audi A4. I think they are 72mm. They don’t fit perfect but aren’t too bad. They do need a self taper to hold them on though.👍🏻
