Exhaust tips: Any recommendations?

[BavarianZHP]

I'm in the mood of changing up the look of her rear end... but I don't want to perform any surgery. Are there any decent exhaust tips that I could get to change the look? Looking for a variety of tips, all stainless steel. I'm not sure if I want it chrome or not, but I like the look of the BMW performance exhaust tips, or maybe something with a taper... I love her stock exhaust note and wouldn't want to alter that sexy voice.

Hmm, is it bimmian or bavauto that has a bunch of tips. I actually have 2 tips that I was going to put on my OEM ZHP exhaust, they are OEM BMW black that slide right over our exhaust, but I went with the UUC TSE3 so now they don't fit. Let me know if you are interested and I'll send a pic. I just never got around to listing them for sale. They ARE (EDITED out "NOT") tapered, but one of the two I mentioned have those.

What muffler is this OP? Performance?

I have the stock exhaust/muffler, the one in the pic is the different BMW performance muffler.

@John: Sure, shoot me a PM with the pic or post the picture of the tips here! Thanks.

JP recommended these to me. They were $60 new, gloss black, they are OEM for an X3, and they just slide right over the original exhaust, with tension on the inside that holds them on. And, as you see, they are tapered.

I thought they were from an E53 4.4i?

Oh, OK. I'm like Roger Clemens said, I misremembered. :) Thanks for clarifying.

Those back tips are BA. I might just have to put those on my list.

I've met him before... he likes to drink ;)

Actually they are. I even wanted them to fit over my UUC, but they don't. If Bavarian doesn't want them then make me an offer! I've had them sitting in my garage for over a year, never used.

[BavarianZHP]

Oh, those are NICE! You've convinced me to go black or gun metal grey... I think I prefer straight and double walled though, more than the tapers - but who knows, I may end up PM'ing you later.

[johnrando]

No worries, they are just happily sitting there. I'll list them for sale for the family first tomorrow.

Has anyone tried the ones from ECS tuning? They are $5 each and supposedly genuine BMW...
