where to get exhaust tips for the perf exhaust?

ska///235i · 07-01-2010, 08:08 PM

The PE tips stick out too much making it look cheap.
where can i get some tips to weld on to the performance exhaust...prefer black chrome

thanks

If your tips on your bmw pe are sticking out too much, it means that it was installed bad, theres nothing wrong with the tips and they can't be adjusted.

ska///235i · 07-01-2010, 09:50 PM

Do you have one cuz everybodys is like that

If you dont have one then you have no idea what im talking about, and i want to cut it and weld something else on

philsteroni · 07-01-2010, 10:18 PM

Yes, I have one. If you don't like the color of your tips, that's one thing...If you don't like your tips because they stick out too far, it means whoever installed your exhaust didn't cut your exhaust line enough.

the pe fitment is the exact fitment of the stock exhaust

can u show me your pics? so far all the other ppl here with the pe looks exactly like mines

from the PEs I have seen I think it looks fine. But I know exactly what you are talking about. My exhaust was fine until I got the resonator deleted. some how it looks like the tips stick out further now... maybe it is just me, but i swear it looks different. Sometimes it looks like they are in normal other times like they are out too far. Maybe its just me thinking it is... my neighbors say it looks fine. but it is a pain in the ass.

on to you though, try cyba tips? or magnaflow? or do an ebay search. I dont know a goood place, as I am kind of in the market for some too. but in chrome.

Just trust me. If your tips are sticking out too far, you have to cut your exhaust line a little more. I just adjusted mine recently and brought my tips in about an inch by cutting my line and reattaching the exhaust clamps. Good luck!

ska///235i · 07-02-2010, 08:08 PM

i trust you, but the oe fitment does stick out a bit too far
my pe is setup exactly as the stock exhaust, i know what you mean about putting the exhaust in further

checkout my pics

c_jeong89 · 07-05-2010, 03:10 PM

Mine don't stick out nearly as far as those lol. Sort of actually tucked in for me.

Express · 07-05-2010, 03:11 PM

my tips are purrrfect. your install should be double checked.

ska///235i · 07-05-2010, 05:00 PM

Yea, will hit up a shop real soon...thanks

shragon · 07-05-2010, 05:01 PM

i'd have a exhaust shop check out how your muffler is connected with the pipe that replaced your resonator.

when i had my re ikon, the first exhaust shop did not do a good job and the tips were extended out as well. the rubber hangers were not pointing straight down either which basically told me the exhaust was not sitting in the right spot. i went to another muffler shop where they cut off some more of the resonator pipe, reweld, and the muffler and tips finally sat in the right spot.

Mine is like that but I don't mind it.

EDIT:
Mine is actually about 1/4 inch more in than of what yours look like.

Don't the hangers for the muffler decide how it sits?

Are you sure you didn't get an e92 exhaust? e92 exhausts are longer than e90.

My BMW PE tips are almost flush as well...
