90mm as opposed to 70mm. So yes, bigger

Looking good Guy.

JustChris · 04-26-2016, 06:14 AM

Brilliant, cannot wait to see those new tips, pretty certain I will this route too.

Great work Guy, looking fwd to seeing them.....plenty of cars on the road going to be seeing them.....and never the front grills

M5essex · 04-26-2016, 08:07 AM

I like em Guy... but the only downside to the tips are the 'Frankenstein' bolts that stick out all round and you can see quite obviously from behind. it would have been nicer if they were just slip on like the existing tips with springy type clamps..

Don't think you're really going to see them as with the diffuser, there really isn't a lot of room to play with. I had similar on my 335d and you couldn't see the bolts at all (unless you got down on your knees!).

I like the postie delivery of new toys, look forward to seeing th finished results

I had the cyba tips on my M5 and it was one of my bugbears with them. but I didn't have the diffuser so I guess they were more noticeable and weren't as flush as yours. can you get them with a slant to them or do they all come straight edged?

Straight edged but will be putting nicely in flush to diffuser at top so I reckon they will look okay. Guess we'll find out tomorrow

Lovely motor there guv'nor

I've already measured mine and they'll sit a lot flusher than that. Was one of the reasons I ended up going for the Cyba's.

rph_gunner · 06-23-2016, 02:51 AM

Any pictures of the Cyba tips installed?

The ones on the other thread you were looking at have the tips installed.

Awesome!!! Pics when fitted!

I have seen a set of 4 black akrapovic tips fitted for £400, which sounds like a deal.

However, they are purely there for vanity reasons and to give the impression the whole system is fitted. Is that a bit w@nk? I like the idea of this but not sure

Bit w@nk for sure. If I seen you I be thinking why is he driving in efficient mode and has akraprovic exhaust.

If they look good, go for it. Tips are designed to appeal visually, nothing more. Right?

Are you sure theyre not the tips for the actual Akra exhaust which wont fit our tailpipes?

You can buy Carbon Akra tips but i thought they were only compatible with the Akra exhaust
