Sleeves for Standard Exhaust Tips
« on: May 27, 2016, 03:53:26 pm »
Wondering if anyone can give some advice.

My standard exhaust tips are in decent enough condition but have a bit a rust bubble starting.  From what I have read this is basically the end of keeping the tips looking decent.

Over the past year or so I have read the odd post on people buying anything from Audi sleeves to cheap eBay ones to go over the top of the existing tips and give a newer, better cleaner look.

From memory a lot of these stuck out further than the standard tail pipes.

Has anyone bought any that fit well, look decent and don't stick out further that the existing tips?  Any links would be great.

As always, cheers for the help.   :happy2:

If i'm not mistaken I believe that @Shoduchi put some skoda vrs 70mm tips on his car? and it looks the part so perhaps check out his build thread?

Yeah they slide over the standard ones no need for cutting the old ones off. They need a light tap with a mallet.

That's dope man  :signLOL: but look quite small for the valance imho. I may do a chop job and fit bigger ones if available. I've pm Nige @Powervalve Nige and see if he replies with some good news.  :jumping:
I would have thought people would be into this kind of thing. bigger tips an all. I won a pair of brand new mk4 R32 ends off ebay 2013 before I even bought the golf but the hobnob didn't honour the winning bid of £40 and I had to get my money back through ebay tow weeks later.

@anonymous

Did you need to fit any screw to the bottom or just tap on with a mallet?  Do they sit pretty much as far out as the standard exhaust tip?

Thanks for the reply.   :smiley:

I've just bought the ebay Bayter sleeves.

Quality is very good but before I mallet them on, do they look strange seeing the old tips inside the new?

Also very interested to know this as I'm thinking of getting these too!
