Exhaust Tips

HSV Tips

4 inch Tips on an SSV Ute

.

If it's of any help, I put a full hsv system on my S1 ute. I had to get VE rear mufflers to fit with the rear bumper. They had billet alloy tips on them. The tips were always dull so I had my guy weld the standard tips on them. He charged me $100 which I thought was quite reasonable considering the care he took doing them.

Why wouldn't your stock rear mufflers fit?

 

[Geoff6666]

Yes, they did fit. I fitted the HSV extractors, cats and mid section first with the stock mufflers, but it was WAY too quiet. I now have the HSV mufflers with the bi-modals permanently open, and it's really not that loud.

As a new owner of one of these, I'd have preferred the real exhausts poking out.
I'm not a big fan of fake tips (careful typing required there!), but at least it has four real ones hiding in there. I've followed a lot of Merc V8 SUVs recently and they have some funky shaped tips, but only two actual outlets behind them?

Also +1 on them getting stained/corroding. Its there already, and my old car had exhaust shrouds which got discoloured quickly. With metallic plastic, its hard to avoid...

Derekthetree, could you tell me what is the diameter/width of the chrome outlets ie 3in or 3.5in?. I am going to change the exhaust tips on my 2016 ssv to get a similar look, i will get the angle cut tips with the rolled edge, just need to make my mind up on size.

If anyone who might have 3.5 or 4 inch exhaust tips on their vf ss sedan be kind enough to post a pic of same it would be a great help for me to make up my mind which one to go with. I know it is not a mater of world importance but just one of those little things i want to get right. Thanks in advance

Thanks mate, are they the same style tips as the original tips?

Not sure what you mean by that. They look the same to me, but I didn't fit them so can't comment further. Bigger the better IMO!

Yes they look good. I think the standard ss tips which seem to be 2.75 inch just don't give it that mean look like the bigger tips can do
