And why are they so expensive :laugh: even the postage is a joke.

If you pop down to an actual exhaust place they will be more than happy to sell you some tips and probably have many on show in a cabinet. If not you could probably buy a milltek back box and cut them off.

Because they are fake Akropovic ones! They of ridiculously expensive titanium system fame. "Manufacturer - Does not apply". Swerve!

Sometimes I wish ebay was wiped from the face of the earth, or better policing to stop fake garbage sellers ripping people off.

Those £20 ebay ones don't look great tbh
