I miss how my tips flow with the M5 bumper. It's like it was made for the car.

Replaced them with these. I should've gotten staggered tips. Doesn't matter. Selling the car soon anyways.

Comparison

DK,
What did you guys do with those tips....

....and where did you get them?...i'm looking for an exhaust and tips that i'm going to be putting on in the summer for my 530

Your old tips are unique, but I am on the fence on whether it looks better than the new.

And there's really nothing wrong with the new one, they look fine.

the ebay tips would look better if they were staggered! Your exhaust tips still look good!

+1

I wanted staggered. Didn't want to waste too much time. So I just got these. When the muffler shop installed. The outer tip was fine. But the inner one was sunken in. Looked like shit. Had them redo it.

I agree, IMHO - the ones you had were ugly. The ones you got (new ones) are 10 times better. I am sure you could find something that will be 20 times better but then what is the

Staggered tips would have looked better for sure, but I think the round tips looks better than the cayenne knock offs... just my opinion, to each his own
