4" exhaust tip

Does anyone have a 4" exhaust tip that they like? I was looking for something a little bit larger than m performance.

I have seen some carbon akra reps in another post on here, but I already have a cf diffuser and do not want to "over cf" it.

I recall that the guy selling the inexpensive Akrapovic carbon fiber tips also was selling Titanium ones:


Of course there is always the gold plated tips!

I don't remember, and a quick search using Akaprovic as the search term turned up nothing. As I recall the vendor was from Hong Kong and selling through Aliexpress.

I've looked for 4" also, and couldn't come up with anything. AWE offers 4" tips on their exhaust system (I think there was another vendor that did the same), but I can't find anything that is a standalone part.

I really just want a pair of simple looking, black, single wall (not rolled), straight cut, 4" tips. Kind of like what Dinan offers on their exhaust system.

Also, these aren't real Akrapovic tips. For example, in one of the pictures the part number engraved in the part is PC-CT/10. Looking at the Akrapovic website that is not what PC-CT/10 tips look like.

Probably how they keep out of hot water with the company.

Yeah I know they aren't real. I do like how they look though. If they were decent quality I'd probably go with it and just remove the logo if possible
