I have the same Q. I'd appreciate some insight too

TIA.

Yes.

One trick I've found is to wait until the exhaust cools down, and either heat up the chrome tips in a pot of boiling water or a hair dryer. That will make the tips expand a little to slide in easier, and once it cools down it'll be a snug fit to the exhaust and heat up/cool down with the exhaust to remain a snug fit.

Also, use a rubber mallet to lightly tap the bottom of the tip to get it to sit in flush with the pipe.

]Should they slide on all the way to where the end of the chrome tips matches the end of the factory tip?

What is the part number for the exhaust tips? Where can I get them? How much do they cost?

Thanks.

I just used my trusty deadblow mallet and carefully tapped em on. I dind't pound em all the way in; I left em sticking out about 1/2in and staggered to match the curve of the bumper.

Thanks, Kaz. I'll have to order myself a pair. :thumb:

fix for the chrome talipipes

I had the same issue, and i ended up driving around for a few days with the tips on about 3/4 of the way in. Even with a rubber mallet they felt like they didn't want to go in any further.

A few days later, after a driving one day about (15-20 mins after) I thought I'd try again - The tips were a heated from the drive and the slide right down with minimal "help" from the mallet.

heat them up, or try it after a drive. I know the exhaust pipes will probably be expanded too, but my tips just slid on.
