After using search I saw a post by JimB about adding a single oval tip back in 2003. Just wanted to see pics of anyone who has done it more recently along with the purchase, install info.

 

Anyone else like the oval tail pipe and would like it on their C240 or C320 besides me?

 

is it just a tip?

 

yeah they are just tips. they sell them at the parts dept. at the dealership.

 

I just added the 2000 CLK oval tip to mine. I will try to get you pictures. I had to cut the bumper tho...not too much work....def doable.

 

the CLK tip is a lil taller and not as wide. I've compared it with my friend's 02CLK.

 

What about this? Does not even require cutting the bumper.

Your link didn't work for me, but if you're talking about the bolt-on Schatz tips, I think they look good from the rear, but awful from the side. I had them on my car a couple of weeks and couldn't stand the look. I removed them and had the oval tip installed. See pic below...

so u didnt have to cut the bumper?

 

still looks good imo.

 

Nice BlakeP. That is the look I want.

 

Jkw: Thank you!

Noble C320: So far, I've only sanded away at the existing bumper opening to make the tip fit in there better, but I plan to sand some more to make a nicer opening for it cuz it's kinda close to the metal right now and I don't want to worry about melting.

Anaheim_Drew: Caliber Motors in your area has a great price on the oval tip ($100, I think). That's where I got mine. With some minor bumper adjustment and a little welding, the oval tip fits great and looks even better!

 

Thank you for your info and the contact at Caliber.

 

No problem. Did it work out for you?

 

post pics when you can!!

 

Sounds good I want to order one. How long does the install take?

Also you gonna still get the sways?

 

its essentially plug and play right?

 

The install requires welding. I took mine to a local shop run by a father of a friend of mine who did the welding for a 12 pack of beer. The whole process took about 15 minutes. I had them weld the bottom piece directly to the exhaust and the top pieces to the OEM tips (you'll understand what I mean when you see the 04.5 tip and slide it over the existing tips). It also requires cutting the bent parts of the OEM tips, which took a couple of minutes, prior to welding the new tip. I doubt any shop would charge more than $100 for the whole install, but probably less.

As for the sways, I'm planning to get those done when I get the cupkit...probably a few months.

 

i got my AMG sways installed, just waiting for the cup kit AMG springs. not sure which im going to do just yet.

 

Yes it will.......

 

Honeslty that tip style not match with the body "openion" i really dont like it.. i recomended to go for AMG tip which really looks sexy...

 

Well post a pic of your suggestion of the AMG tip.

 

i love the AMG tips. can those fit on a coupe, does anyone know?

 

I have been trying to get AMG tips. If anyone knows how to get them please let me know.
