Not to my taste personally.

And why are they so expensive  :laugh: even the postage is a joke.

I'm not sure but exhaust tips seem really expensive for some reason or another. And you can't seem to buy Milltek tips by themselves. Only the whole system which I don't want

If you pop down to an actual exhaust place they will be more than happy to sell you some tips and probably have many on show in a cabinet. If not you could probably buy a milltek back box and cut them off.

Just had a look at the back boxes. That is definitely not a cost effective option lmao. I'll have a think and see what I should do

Have you thought about some Audi exhaust tips? You can pick them up for about £10-£20 off ebay. I've got some and they look alright.

Because they are fake Akropovic ones!  They of ridiculously expensive titanium system fame.  "Manufacturer - Does not apply".  Swerve!

Sometimes I wish ebay was wiped from the face of the earth, or better policing to stop fake garbage sellers ripping people off.

Thanks for the advice guy's, here are my exhaust tips at the moment. There's nothing wrong with them I just fancy a change but I'm struggling for ideas.  :thinking: Feel free to post some pics of what you've got to give me some inspiration !

I like the miltek ones with the concaved centre. Not sure what you call it but it's a slanted edge.

Those £20 ebay ones don't look great tbh
