Holy cow. You could get a whole exhaust for that money.

If your goal is just to have fancy tips, reach out to an exhaust manufacturer on alibaba (skyley or whomever) and ask them for tips. No need to spend $2.2k on tips from a dropshipper.

I've been looking for replacement exhaust tips for ages.
So far I've had a set from what looks like an aliexpress reseller on ebay which were too small so got sent back.
Today I've received a set from a UK seller who swore that they would be perfect for an F95Comp - nope, far too small again!

Has anyone got any suggestions, apart from the ind ones?!

ETA sorry for slight thread hijack, but something like these, would that seller on Alibaba make these too?

I thought about ordering the car with them, but they were not available at the time. Then I looked at buying them and having them installed, which was of course even more expensive. Then I decided that the black ones that came with the car are good enough, I never really look at them except when I am washing the car.

Paying $3500 for something that only people following me will see does not make sense to me now.

There should be another post about those. I have them on my car. You need to cut the OEM ones and attach those. I really like them as I was already pretty happy with the exhaust sound just needed a bit better look.

Look solid ! I assume you need a meticulously detailed installer to keep the alignment right on these.

Looks interesting. My current black tips (which look terrible) come off with a bit of hammering and I need 100mm inlet as I don't want to cut anything.

I have ordered a set of custom ones from a seller on Alibaba. I'll post pictues on here if they're any good.

No way! I could’ve swore these looked like they’ll fit based on their advertisement and pics. I hope you’re able to send them back.

Yeah and they were adamant they would fit on a 20020 X5MC, I even phoned them up first to check.
They did send me a prepaid return postage label though.
It is weirdly difficult to get 100mm (4 inch?) slip on tips though.

We'll see what Alibaba send soon.
