Grubby exhaust

[Nharris89]

Chiming in late here, I used redline wheel cleaner on mine. Worked an absolute treat and they look brand new! Only £4 on Amazon as well. T-Cut will also do the trick!

They should come up well with Autosol as recommended by "Smartbear". Mine came up well using just that and patience!

I just need to get more dextrous so I can get further up them.

Maybe get the twin pipe instead whilst you're at it? I did for my 2.0i.

If there's tar and shite on them, you can actually use clay to tidy them up, then as suggested. Autosol is your friend.

Is this part for any 2L? So you have a single exhaust pipe and this part fits over to create a twin pipe?????

 

[jock156]

Why do I keep killing threads????

I just asked a question?

 

[mackharry]

Jock, I've just followed the link to the product posted above by longshaw. Snapshot of the details below so you need to measure your pipe to see if it will fit. I've got a 2.0i and the oval pipe measures 96mm x 66mm so according to the info it would fit on mine.

 

[jock156]

Thanks for that!

But Papa Zee posted a twin pipe exhaust tip and thats what I'm querying. Does that tip for a 2.0L?

I don't see how it works?????

 

[mackharry]

Sorry Jock don't know mate, maybe pm papa see and ask him for the link

I have 2.0L z4 with (I assume) standard oval exhaust
The one I ordered from Amazon £20 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002J2LUEW/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_Y7e7CbNKASS3J
Is a duffer. Just waaay to big. I ended up returning, pics are in the is thread on prev. page.

Instead I got an OEM £45 much happier! (Article Number: 82120405099)

I am pretty sure you cannot use a twin tip "over" the oval (unless you replaced the whole exhaust). If this was your question...

 

[jock156]

Cheers longshaw, thats what I thought!

So Papa_Zee can you enlighten us on how you got a single pipe to work as a dual pipe with just a tip? I've always liked the look but don't understand how it works. Thanks in advance for your response.

I am sure I posted a response but now I can't see it...

Anyway here goes again.

I got a back box and tip package from these guys (https://www.fastlanestyling.co.uk/) i think it was around £250-£280 at the time and they installed it. You get to choose any twin pipe design and they will weld it into place. For the 2.0i, the single outlet is welded onto the twin pipe and adjusted. You really can't tell the difference between it and the 2.5si/3.0si models.

I did eventually ask them to take the back box out and put my original one back but retained the twin pipes. The drone was too loud for me. More like a 'Race-Mode' box would sound. Still looked very nice but have now sold the car.

I believe if you just wanted the tips, that should be possible and not too costly. Just ask.
