Talking CHECK OUT MY TIpS!

Mod #22 - 4.6is Exhaust Tips

I bought these back in the beginning of April and I finally had them installed this morning. (Original thread: http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e53-forum/...-4-6-tips.html)

I'm going to paint the inside tomorrow morning to cover the cut-off tips with some high-temp black paint. This will make a HUGE difference.

These pictures are from my camera phone. I'll take better ones and post them once I paint.

UPDATED PICTURES!

Before:


Directly After (before painting the cut tips):


After Painting (in direct sunlight):


Other Shots:









A few things I've noticed:
- I'm not sure they stick out far enough. I need to measure them.
- The right one looks like it may be slightly crooked. Looking at the "before" picture, the original pipes were crooked, too. Again, I'll have to do some measuring.

Oh Yeah!! Thats what i'm talkin about Michelle!! I thought you said look at these Ti*S....oh forget it ...i have issues....any way nice ass!!! man...those tips just widen things up and look tough!!

Funny..even my Supersprint exhaust on the lest side looked a lil off and my Indy....he just adjusted something underneath..not sure if you could have your guys do the same..maybe do a little muscle bend and weld....

It's about time your having these done! LOL!

Have a great day!
