Carbon Fiber Exhaust Tips

[kodypiccirilli]

Hello all, I have had dumped exhaust for about a year now and finally want to go back to having tips running out of the back. With that said, I am thinking of getting Akrapovic styled carbon fiber exhaust tips. Some of the only places I can find these tips are on eBay or AliExpress.

Here is a link to the tips I am thinking of purchasing: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/57m...lgo_pvid=b9bb521d-4307-4188-9b41-c2ee91a94b67

Does anyone have any experience ordering from AliExpress? If so, what has your experience been? Good, bad? Also, what are you guys' thoughts about the tips?

Thanks.

I wonder if these could fit the stock mufflers?

I've ordered a few things from Aliexpress.
In a nutshell, the quality is a bit substandard, and the delivery time is upwards of a month.
Beware of them selling name brand items. China is the king of knockoffs.

If you go to eBay, see where the item is being shipped from. Sometimes the Chinese sites cross sell on Ali and EBay.

If you order from aliexpress, you have to go in with low expectations. Almost always the photos will represent a better looking product than what you'll actually receive.

There's some pretty neat stuff you can find if you dig long enough. It's not uncommon to find stuff on ali that other local companies have rebranded themselves.

Thanks for the replies. With this knowledge, I think I might still test my luck

Those look really good! And not a huge loss if they aren't exactly as advertised. Looking forward to feedback once you get them.

I've been toying around with this idea as well because the CF addiction is strong.

I've bought from them before and the quality of parts were good.

Whatever route you end up going post up some pix when done.

Low-quality carbon fiber, such as the knock-offs from that Alibaba advertisement are definitely going to yellow and fade prematurely. It's especially noticeable for exhaust tips.

I'd hold out for a brand name option and wait for more pricing and availability. Shoot a PM to an exhaust manufacturer here on the site.
