you guys think with a stock exhaust on an 04 TL, I can send my car out to a shop to get exhaust tips welded on? i am looking to do something like comptech tips. Let me know if this is possible and what specs of a tip do i need.

thank you

 

I asked this shop a couple days ago about tips welded on and he said that muffler+tips+labor would be 287. He said the tips were 40 a pop(similar to comptech ones)..and I'm guessing you should be getting a quote of 130-150ish. UA6spec has some sick remus tips on his stock exhaust system, never got to ask him the price though.

I'd say just go with all new mufflers+resonators for a sporty sound as well and look, unless you dont want any sound, then yeah this would be a good idea.

Good luck, and keep us updated

Yeah it's possible, though make sure you get a good tip because there might be some issues fitting it correctly due to the limited amount of space. It's easiest just to go to a shop with a tape measure, figure out what size you have to work with, and then look at the posters with the tips on them and find one with the correct dimensions.

 

cool, thanks for the replies. I am not looking for sound. JUST LOOKS

 

^^get the tips off a Mercedes GL450 or R350. I used to work there and always thought these tips would look siiick on a tl. It's perfect since all you want is the look. I already have an exhaust so can't really do it. Only thing is, at the dealer it's waaay too expensive, so just check out a local salvage junkyard. It takes a torx screwdriver to remove the tips, i forget what size though. At the junkyard just tell them that they cost like $30 each, and hand them like $30 for both, i'm sure they'll take it since they don't know they each cost $200!!! Good Luck!!!

 

hahaaha yeah dude before I got my exhaust..I was looking into a custom AC Schnitzer and i found these tips for like 300 and i was like JUST the tips

 

made of platinum?
