Best looking tail pipes?
« on: October 16, 2012, 01:38:27 pm »
Guys,

I have the standaard mk5 GTI tailpipes and they are rusty/corroded (unable to clean them/make them chrome again).
I want to replace them with two new welded tailpipes (no need for a complete exhaust).
I've seen different models and sizes, but can't decide which looks best.
I've seen the Milltek ones, which are the same model as o.e.m. but a little bigger> 76mm (are the stock ones 70mm?)
I've seen the Milltek GT80 ones, which look good.
I've seen the APR RSC ones, which look like the GT80's but the tips look 'obliquely', also nice.
I haven't seen the stock look but with a 80mm or 90mm size. Is this possible?

What do you guys think (on standard rear bumper).

My small and rusty tailpipes:

isn't this a personal preference? Like the best flavour of starburst....

But of course this is personal preference, but I'm looking for your opinions, maybe some extra options (models/sizes I haven't seen) and photo's.

In my opinion as close to stock as possible, just cleaner  :happy2:

Looks good, but aren't they the original diameter?

Woowwww! Thanks this is what I want!!!
'Unfortunately' the garage where I want to do this, can only deliver tailpipes from 'Fox-exhaust systems' and they have a little less angle cut: 15 degrees instead of 35 degrees ( http://www.fox-sportauspuff.de/store-products.php?pName=anschweissendrohr-typ-16-80-mm-laenge-300-mm-rund-eingerollt-15-abgeschraegt-ohne-absorber-p-1340&cName=sportendrohre-typ-16--80-mm-c-530_569_572 )
Will 15 versus 35 degrees make a real difference???
I'm definitely going for the 80mm look.

Have you tried cleaning yours with wire wool and autosol? I thought mine were too far gone, but after I tried this they are shinier than ever!

Yeah I think you should keep the same style, but a little bit bigger! 80mm pipes.
