6 cyl tail pipes

scotgc · 09-24-2010, 08:19 AM

Has anyone ever changed the standard pipe covers on a 6 cyl for chrome
Ones? I have a set from my previous e90 325i. They look better than the dull metal ones on the car.But I can't see how to get the old
Ones off.

pull them very hard... - you might need to use pliers.

Yeah I could do that but would I be able to put the
Back on If I don't like the chrome ones?

yes, why wouldn't you?

I'd grip at the bottom so any mark you make will be less visible but they just need a good tug.

Thanks for the help managed to get them off an put the new ones on but the cut of the pipe is different, :-(

looks OK to me.

Looks very good

Thanks for your help, they do fit but as i said before the exhaust pipe must be cut at more of an angle than on the 325i e90. I will leave them on for now and get better pics with a better camera the iphone camera's not the best.

They look much better from the side profile of the car.

Go on then, let's have a look.

Simple! Dress the metal tailpipes down so the fit is 100%
