Exhaust Tips
« on: March 08, 2015, 02:50:11 pm »
I have been searching around to see if it is possible to change the exhaust tips on the GTI back box as I do not really want an uprated system such as a Milltek. Does anybody have any information on if this is feasible?

Thanks

+1 the previous owner of my car kept it all mint except the exhaust tips. They look like they have never been cleaned. Ive tried to polish mine up but the ends are just rotted through! An easy replacement would be ideal.

Would a company like powerflow be able to replace , chop the tips and weld over some new ones.

My exhausts  on my GTI were quite nasty. Got myself some 0000 superfine steel wool and got a tube of autosol. Used engine cleaner first then attacked the tips for about 20 minutes.

They look much better , not perfect but getting there. Round two when I get a chance.

No welding? Drilling?

I bought a couple of ss pipes (150 x 50 x 70mm) off ebay and painted them with high temp paint  Still nice and black after 2 weeks :smiley:  Used http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Equal-Diameter-Exhaust-Clamp-Connector-Sleeve-55mm-56mm-57mm-58mm-59mm-60mm-/361154787380?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item541680b834

So get the tips that fit over the originals and use the clamps in the link to fit them? seems like a sensible option. Thank you!! :happy2:
