Exhaust Tip Fitting Help

[Jcs]

As time goes by, members will notice that I am possibly the worst person in the world at DIY modding.

Following on from the previous thread on exhaust tips I bought these....

Easy fit my arse.

How did everybody else fit theirs? Diffuser or off?



This bit, hardly touches the exhaust?




Not that there's any room to get in there with the bolts etc :/


Any hint and tips would be much appreciated

You need a metal file and file the screw ridge inside the exhaust tips, then they are a tight fit but they do fit on with brute force!!

You will not need the screws, all you need to do is file away inside of the tips.

What I did was stick a piece of tape in the middle of the tip just to make sure the tip is aligned up properly as when you go to push it on I found that they twist, so with the tape I can make sure that I'm controlling the twist.

Any more info fire away??

Also you do not need to take diffuser off, they just push on, with force.

You don't need to take off the diffuser
Just a file for the ridges and a rubber mallet to get them firmly on
Worked for me anyway :thumbup:

To keep them on firmly. After filing the inside I cut 8 slits in the back of the tailpiece with a hacksaw. then used a jubilee clamp to "crush" it against the existing exhaust pipe. Won't move anywhere now

The slide right the way back to the bottom of the slash cut pipe mate so no gap them they should sit into diffuser properly
