Just exhaust tips

Anyone have any links to some exhaust tips that can be purchased for an MCS, other than OEM tips or the OutMotoring ones? Those are the only ones I've found - all others are included with an entire exhaust system, which I don't want.

Well, whatever you do, just don't buy THESE...



Seriously, the only tips I've seen are the OEM ones (shy of some Porche ones someone linked to a few weeks back that IIRC, cost MORE than a whole CatBack Exhaust. I got my OEM ones from a fellow NAMmer, pre-painted inside and everything. You might want to check some aftermarket "bling" places - I know I've seen all kinds of replacement tips, from mild to wild (LED illuminated, the works) on Ricer sites...

Doing a Google search for "MINI Cooper S exhaust tips" brings that site up in the list of hits - hilarious!

i doubt there are many other options as the pipe comes down in
a sharp angle the inside of the tip requires a special shape for
the screw clamp.

i guess if a little cutting and welding is an option, there are more
available.

Do they come in Blue? Better yet, Indi Blue? And how much...? I hope those are welded on and not by screws.

You can weld them on, but i've heard a rumor that there is a rattling problem...

Have not seen any besides outmotoring. A custom exhaust shop could probably help you out.

ive been to a custom exhaust shop, the guy dealt only in magnaflow products and he had about 6 or 7 tips. even a big oval one. they were long and it looked like there might be a little cutting and welding to get them to fit nicely
