Guys,
Has anyone managed to change there stock exhaust tips (trim), wanted to find out if it's possible and where to get the tips from?
Hi AJ, I've got some Akrapovič carbon tailpipe trims for sale if you wanted to have a play? From what I've found out you'd need to cut back the actual exhaust tailpipes (not the trims) and these will just clamp on?Guys,

Carbon ones are available from Carbondesignz but are $754 a set!I'd like to change mine or even get some carbon covers.. the tail pipes go black very quickly and it's a nightmare to clean off

Yeah the trims knock off from behind. Beneath that though is the actual exhaust tailpipe which is flared out and meets the trim all the way in. So you need to cut that back or adapt the new trim to fit. It is doable and was underway but I changed my mind and got my mate to give my originals the carbon fibre treatment instead.I thought the trims just come off? Can you shoot me some pics. I have no problems with my trims but want something bit more interesting.
Anyone interested in the above give me a shout, I've got six and they're in the style of the Golf GTi performance pack tails.
Nope! Friend of mine's inlaws own the company and they don't, and won't be apparently. Thank god for that in my case as I'd have done the silly thing and smashed £4K on one!Do they make an actual Akrapovič exhaust for the S3 then?

IF they did one, and I'm going on similar sized cars, it's at least that much. Aerospace titanium and carbon fibre plus exceptional hand-craftsmanship costs!Sweet Mary and Joseph... Is that how much they are?!?
Okay...

That Mountune stuff is such good value, because it's subsidised manufacturer-approved kit I'd imagine. VW did similar for a while with the VWR range available at dealers.Yeah they are very impressive bits of kit, but had no idea how much they were. Makes the Mountune exhaust I bought for my ST a bargain at £495.00. Shame they don't do one as I'd love to hear how that sounds. Thanks for the info mate.

I like the sound of mine - OE system, with Milltek sportcat DP and will have the carbon trims to match mirrors and interior inlays.

Are your tips finished yet Batch?
I did say sensible offer AJ, just in case you can't find any.If anyone knows of any other place where I could acquire exhaust tips let me know

As much as this might lose me a sale, you could just buy four of your choice from eBay and get them welded to your pipes?Haha, it's nothing to do with that! Just want to see what other variations are around on the market!
