You can clearly see from these replacement tips that they are oval

They are not round. That has been documented on this forum for a long time.

If you don’t agree then buy a set and report back

Pardon the dirty car, but I just got back from the shop after having the AA catted DP installed as well as the quad tips from AliExpress. Wanted to share the look.

Hey, your aliexpress bolt ons are black. Are they gloss black (as in gloss paint) or black chrome?
I’m looking to order some (for when my car finally gets built &#129324 and would prefer black chrome, so any help would be much appreciated!

I wouldn't call these black chrome. I think that they are just painted gloss black (not as deep as black chrome). Here's another photo and I think you'll be able get a better feel for their color.

Thanks for that. Compared to the black gloss trim, the pipes do appear to have a slight chrome depth to them. Think I’ll order these.

I have the silver ones. It looks like the trim just inside is darkened above, where mine are more of a brushed aluminum appearance. I posted a few weeks earlier in the thread if you want to compare.

Did you purchase the “Black A” or “Black B”?

And I believe the difference is just the silver vs black connecting pipe, correct?

I paid $168 for the item and $45 for shipping to NE US. They used DHL express and it arrived very quickly.

Hello everyone,
I have a 2023 m240i leased.
Planning to change the exhaust tips.
The option are:
- these
https://infiniteautowerks.com/shop/e...tips-clamp-on/
- or go to a local shop and they will weld the tips to the pipe.
Then, of course, when i need to return the car, i would need to cut them again. Is it worth? Will be any potential issue with the lease return?

Thanks

You don’t need to weld them, they’re clamped on so it’s easy to install and remove. Also buy them from here they’re cheaper and seems like that’s where that store is getting them from https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32568...yAdapt=glo2usa

Do they hold well overtime (clamp doesn't come loose)?

Got some from the same link (Ali) and as long as they are put on properly, ie using the locking nuts correctly, they are on very solid

I just installed the Dinan exhaust this week, so I am selling my quad tips that I bought on Ali and was enjoying for a few months. DM me if interested. They are in good shape with regular wear (see photos)
