Removing E86 OEM exhaust tips?

Post by 24057 » Sun Feb 17, 2019 4:25 pm

Been searching around and people are saying there’s two small grub screws holding on the two OEM exhaust tips. I’ve looked under the car and there’s no screws at all. Wondering whether the screws are only on E85 cars?

Thanks all!!

removed mine by sliding a claw hammer towards the back of the car along the tailpipe, just taps them off in a couple of goes!

Oh, so no screws, just a little brute force? 😂

Bit of wd40, a block of wood and a rubber mallet did the job for me :thumbsup:

OEM tips on facelists (excluding ///M) are just held in place with spring clips, so as above just pull or tap off.
