I have seen your work on your exhaust system. I just want to clarify how I make them.
They are in the simplest terms just tube made to fit and finished nicely. The :rofl: was just that i found it funny.
Sweet as :thumbsup:

What you've done looks great and the 3" tip size suits the Z4M perfectly but I personally don't like that the tips end up touching. Obviously not much that can be done about it :(

We briefly touched on this in our PM chat, but could you do one big tip and one small tip? like 3" & 2"? (I don't know what sizes would work)

My little blue zed is in lots of bits. With lots of things started and not many finished! I may have found the limits of my time and ability!!

When sliding them over the original tips no. But when removing the old tips the fitting rings can be to move the tips left a bit and right a bit. So the fitting and outside are not concentric.

Doesn't it look a bit odd if they're not concentric though? I've never actually seen close up shots of the tips fitted!

Not 100% sure whether I want one bigger than the other at this point mate, so don't do anything that'll cost please :)

Are your MM 3.0si tips the same as the ///M tips?
