Universal exhaust tips for your car

Exhaust tips are used for exterior styling. They help to make vehicles sound more sporty and prevent foreign objects from getting inside.

Types of exhaust tips

By number of pipes:

• Single – These might be of a round, rectangular, or oval shape, with a straight or angle cut.
• Dual or triple – These create the effect of a branching tailpipe.

By material:

• Steel – These are durable but heavy. Thanks to a special coating, they are resistant to corrosion. They are sometimes fitted with a carbon cover.
• Titanium – These are expensive, and usually fitted onto premium cars.

By features:

• Decorative – These have a simple design, and are inexpensive. They help to guide exhaust gases further away from the vehicle. They sometimes include a special metal mesh that prevents foreign objects from getting into the exhaust system.
• Noise-reducing – These have either a perforated pipe or a system of meshes and baffles. They change the direction of the gas flow, absorbing vibration.
• Sound-enhancing – These have either a built-in resonator or a vane to create a deeper, more powerful sound.

By mounting method:

• With brackets and bolts – These are easy to install. The diameter of the component doesn’t have to match the diameter of the tailpipe precisely.
• With clamps – These ensure a secure connection and a sealed joint.
• Welding – This method is used for major modifications of a vehicle.

Operating instructions for exhaust tips

• Clean any dirt or grease from the mounting seat before installation.
• Don’t let the exhaust tips come into contact with plastic auto body parts.
• Check regularly that the clamps and threaded fasteners are securely attached. They loosen with time, which can cause play.
• Clean and remove carbon deposits regularly.
• Do not use abrasive pastes that could damage the surface.
• To avoid burns, do not touch the component right after driving.
