Hi motorers

My minds may be playing tricks on me, but I think I saw here a "new" part from MINI a little while ago...

I was new exhaust tips that changes the small stock ones...

Anyone has a part number for those, if they exist?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

there is already a thread with photos, $99 from the dealer, look pretty good on the PW/B MINI, I'll see if I can find a link.

 

Thanks for the help!

I found them on Lauderdale's website

If you can find the link, I'd really appreciate !!

 

Does anyone have this installed on their MINI? Pics would be awesome

Thanks a lot Motor On!

I just bid on those on eBay. A set from Morristown MINI.

 

I just purchased and installed the official replacement exhaust tips on my MCS. The stock exhaust tips are each attached with a hex set screw. Loosen the screw, slip off the stock tip, slip on the replacement tip, and tighten its set-screw. A five minute job that my dealer wanted $22 for (plus $99 for the exhaust tips). As the stock tips mount identically to the replacement tips, why doesn't MINI offer the replacement tips as an option when ordering, especially as so many other things are so customizable on the car. (But then they probably couldn't charge as much).

 

here is a picture. if you get them i suggest that you drill holes in your pipes so they dont fall off.

please dont ask me how i know that.

 

Here is a picture of mine, however I painted the inside with high temp black paint.

 

Hmmm, this looks a lot like the Cooper tips I put on my MCS a couple of years ago.

<edit> I should tack on a disclaimer about using the optional Cooper tips. When I did this, there was not a part for the MCS, so I had to weld up a couple of adapters to fit the Cooper diameter tip to the MCS diameter exhausts. On the first try, I used steel tubing to make the adapters, but that lead to a continual rust problem. I finally found stainless steel parts online at Burns Stainless. The bottom line is, the new tips that fit the MCS are worth the price compaired to what I went through.

 

here are mine... I like them..much better than the beer cans... they should come on all MCS...

 

Great job with the painting them black... they look much better that way!!

 

I got them from OutMotoring:

I painted the insides as well. The light color they come with discolors badly from the water in the exhaust. Pic is pre-painting. I just used flat black model paint - it's still on there.

 

No need to paint the inside black... It will get black in no time lol

Mine are now black and there's not a single silver spot anymore

 

Chrome Exhaust Tip Cooper S (Set of 2)
Item #82 12 0 410 150 ($99 dealer price)

I did order these with my MCS, but ended up installing them myself for the sake of time... (painting them black? = so stolen! )

 

Re:exhaust tips. Two questions. Did they change the sound? Was the install (and removing the old ones) easy with just an allen wrench?

 

sound: i'm pretty sure there is no change, but i can't really tell, since i'd only had the car for a couple days before putting the tips on... (warrants a side-by-side w/ a stock MCS i suppose)

install: 1 allen wrench, five minutes, and a mirror (i was lazy so i laid the mirror on the ground to see the hole...)


HTH [i]

 

Make sure you secure them with some lock-tite at the very least. Experience has taught me that the allen bolts alone are not guaranteed to hold them in place.

(I have a spare tip if anyone needs it )

 

yes-- i remember your post, and i cringed. and now i try to check my bolts every couple weeks

 

i noticed one of my tips looked misaligned and it had actually come loose. when i tried tightening it, the allen screw just kept spinning. the screw had actually widened the hole that it was supposed to be set in. so basically, i now have to go to a muffler shop and have them welded on. so if you are considering buying these tips, make sure not to overtighten!

 

They do look better than the original, any change in sound? I would doubt it.

 

no sound changes. it's just a longer tip. better chance of burning your leg on them while getting stuff out of the boot!

hahahahha!

 

been there, done that.
