What length are those tips?

These are the 70mm/92mm/105mm to fit the original exhaust inlets.

How you put the new tips on the exhaust? Because there is a tip on the exhaust and I don't see a "gap" on the new tips?

PM me if you wanna swap CS for ZCP exhaust so you can install tips. I'll take care of the labor of you're local in SoCal. The two exhaust are identical except for the tips FYI.

Just installed mine. Ordered from alibaba took less than two weeks due to not having 105 length in stock so not bad considering. Easy to install looks great good quality especially for price. Concerned about clamps coming loose and Kinda wishing I went all black. Overall very happy

I highly recommend getting the heavy duty clamp before installing these. I installed them using the clamps provided and the next day before even driving the car, three of them broke due to the tension.

Just ordered a set to be delivered to Australian and dealt with Doris. Very easy to deal with and so far all good.

Size 70/92/105 - Gloss CF and Brushed Stainless.


Will arrange for some stronger clamps though after reading this thread, and also paint them black.


Thanks all the help to all above who ventured down this road.

Just an FYI but these will not hold up against even moderate track time. Clear coat starts looking bad after being at track temps

Before tracking it did you notice any clearcoat peeling?

No in fact in survived at least a couple of track days before I started noticing problems. I suspect regular daily use these will hold up fine

Keep in mind everyone - buying through Alibaba is far cheaper than AliExpress.

I also would keep an eye out for those attempting to resell these tips through newly founded companies that are also new to this forum.

We see you.

Two months, no track, and bad clearcoat peeling.. the seller sent me two new tips, but the clearcoat started to peel also after 2 weeks.

Did some of you experienced the same problem? please share pictures.

Arrived a week or so ago. They arrived exactly as ordered and look excellent. I have not fitted yet but will do so over the next couple of wees. Oh so much travel! The supplier were excellent to deal with. I also purchased new heavy duty SS clamps.
Cheers, Greg.
