Are you sure they're friction fit ? I took a quick look and thought they were welded on ? They're definitely not riveted on like the M3 items.
I'm looking into alternatives using thick wall (1.5/2.0 mm) stainless tube like that used on the E46 M3. I plan to reduce the amount they stick out, slash cut the tips at 10/15 degrees and stagger them in line with the diffuser. Ideally I'd like them black or ceramic coated. |
I believe that Lightweight Titanauspuffanlagen (the same company which also made the Moto GP Safety Car style front lip) would make a stock exhaust tip replacement soon but maybe I am confusing it with another company (need my morning coffee!), can't check now but there was a mention somewhere.
