Title: Exhaust Tips for Edition 30
Post by: richtung on November 07, 2010, 12:23:56 am: Evening Folks,

My exhaust tips are looking a bit worse for wear after being neglected by the previous owner. Instead of going through the ball ache of trying to bring them up to a reasonable standard, perhaps its just worth me getting a new set.

Does anyone have the part number for the exhaust tip for the Ed30? (not sure if they are the same as the standard GTI)

Also, does anyone know if they are easy to remove/fit?

Thanks

Rich

Take a trip to Pipeworx and get some new tips welded on, cost me £60 for some new ones and i went for some slightly larger than stock to help fill the exhaust cut-out :happy2:

I may even go for standard GTI (no disrespect meant I would be more than happy with a non ED30!) backbox when the time comes as I like the less glitzy bling stealth look.
