Enhancements in power production, sound levels, and look are all provided by performance exhaust systems. Let's face it, though: not everyone has the extra cash to purchase and assemble one of these kits.

Consequently, you make due with what you have. And that exhaust system can be an old-looking but still functional one. The paint and chrome of the car have been meticulously cleaned and waxed throughout the day, but no amount of hard work will improve the appearance of the exhaust. 

There are several things to take into account when picking an exhaust tip. We'll examine the many sizes, designs, and finishes available to you in this section. You'll see that each product has one major lead image when you browse our website's section on exhaust tips. We strongly encourage you to peep in deeper and view variations that exist because these lead photographs do not accurately represent all of the exhaust tip options you'll find on that product page.

1. Universal Fit VS Vehicle Specific Fit

Vehicle specific exhaust tips are designed to match the exact dimensions of original, factory exhaust outlet pipes installed on a particular make and model. 

These will bolt right up without modifications, and you won't need to worry about ordering the wrong size. "Universal Fit" means that the exhaust tips are not designed for any specific vehicle. What you will need to pay attention to are the choices of inlet diameters, outlet diameters, and overall lengths. 

2. Important Dimensions To consider

Take some current dimensions of the OEM exhaust pipe on your car in order to guarantee that your exhaust tips fit precisely. Using the check boxes on the left side of the screen, you can refine your search by specific dimensions for tip inlet diameter, tip outlet diameter, tip length, and more after you are aware of the measurements listed below.

Inlet Diameter

The inlet diameter of the new exhaust tip you purchase must match the outer diameter (OD) of your existing tailpipe end for a proper fit.  

Outlet Diameter

The outlet diameter is the size of the opening at the end of the exhaust tip. If this is a round shape, you will see one number. If the pipe is oval or rectangular, then you will see the diameter given in two measurements.

Exhaust tips with larger outlet diameters are popular; however, remember that depending on your exhaust and bumper design, a tip significantly larger than factory may interfere with the vehicle's bumper. Often, bumper covers already have cutout areas for factory exhaust pipes that will give you extra leeway. To be sure, measure bumper clearance before ordering. 

Length

You'll want just the right amount of length to ensure your new exhaust tips can be seen clearly without sticking out so far they become an impediment. Length is measured from the beginning of a tip's inlet pipe to the very end of the outlet area, at the top. So, a tip with an angle-cut exhaust opening will be measured along its longer surface, which will be at the top. 

3. Single Tip VS Dual Tip

Exhaust tips that fit on a single exhaust pipe with one outlet are known as single-tip style pipes, while tips that take one exhaust pipe and split it into two openings are known as dual-tip style pipes.

4. Finishes

Black

We offer black exhaust tips to complement the look of any high gloss or matte finish black wheels or other trim. Black finish may not be available for every make and model, but odds are good you’ll find what you’re looking for with the products we’ve got. 

Stainless Steel

When properly buffed, polished stainless steel tips can take on a dazzling finish that approaches the mirror-like characteristics of chrome. 

Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber exhaust tips are an extremely unique finish choice. If you've already invested in a carbon fiber trunk spoiler or body panels, these exhaust tips complete the look and create a presence for your vehicle that you won't see coming and going.

Blue Burnt Look

A look of blue “burnt” metal is a trademark of titanium exhausts that have reached high temperatures. However, the burnt look can be achieved on stainless steel by heating the metal until it turns red. When the steel cools down again, a blue color appears.

As a metal, titanium offers the benefits of low weight, very high strength, and the ability to retain its integrity when heated to extreme temperatures. When it comes to exhaust tips, we’ve got titanium alloy ones that are blended with stainless steel. Because it’s a rare metal in nature, real titanium components are costly to produce.

Conclusion

Not only are exhaust tips affordable, there are enough choices in the way of finish, shape, and length to keep you pouring through options for quite a while. Once you've boosted the style of your vehicle with add-on exhaust tips, you'll wonder why you waited so long to do so. The new tips will seem so right on your vehicle, they'll give everyone the impression of new-found high style and performance!
