These look great! Very tempted.

Do they definitely fit the stock F8x exhaust without cutting/welding? Given the vehicles mentioned in the listing have different sized tips - did you have to specify a particular size?

Also - the listing you linked to is '$175 or Best Offer' for *two* tips and says "Offers Under 78.00 Will IMMEDIATELY be declined" - any idea what the seller will accept? ;-) (maybe they meant $78/tip?)


....and I'm guessing the Austin,TX connection is a coincidence!

I ordered 70mm tips but he had me verify and sent this whole DIY PDF. Unfortunately, I am not in Austin anymore though...work brings me across the country. I did notice the package was shipped from Cincinnati though so I am not sure how accurate the Austin location is.

I submitted the best price last week of 162.00 per set of two and it was immediately accepted. That works out to 81 per tip so I imagine he has an auto decline at 78*2 or 156 and an auto-accept setup somewhere.

70mm was what I got. He offered to verify via VIN or he sent a PDF on how to measure. Was willing to walk me through the process.

I just ordered these. Hope they fit nicely, does anyone have a good close up of the inside of the tip? Is the metal glossy or a more raw matte finish like the genuine MP tips?

Any additional pics? Of the clamp too maybe? And is the inside of the tips gloss or matte sliver metal?

I asked the seller about this and he told me that orders shipped in the US will have logos, but not overseas.

We'll see when mine turn up... ;-)

I measured mine at 70mm (stock ZCP exhaust). Some free advice: I spent 10 minutes bashing away with a hammer trying to get one of the stock tips off... then went and bought some WD-40 and it came off with no trouble at all!

My tips ended up getting shipped from Hong Kong due to Calif wildfire issues.

They arrived in a few days, all 4 have the M logo and the quality looks great:

Haven't had chance to install yet.

Followup: Now installed... very simple and painless.

I don't think these are going to fit non-ZCP exhausts. Someone prove me wrong.
