I see a lot of comments avout those tips. Personally, I think it is the coolest part of the exhaust. Not only they are a production marvel but also, all the new AMGs come with similar style tips from the factory. The quad ovals are a classic but the style is on the way out.
Since they're indeed separate, and polarizing to some members that would prefer oval tips, is there a possibility to buy these tips individually? Clearly I would refinish the tips so that they wouldn't say the brand, and avoid being a poser . But this tip is a perfect design for the back of my car and I've been looking for something a bit more substantial than the stock ones.

Could these be purchased? I would only need two.

Most likely. Akrapovic sells their tips for most of their exhaust systems separately. That being said, I don't have a separate pricing for the tips for the C63 application. Keep in mind that those tips are the most expensive part of the whole exhaust.

Yep, they retail for $990 per my old-school Akra price sheet that actually lists all the individual component pricing.

None of the Akrapovic systems ever drone on any car. They are very particular about that part of driving experience.

Akrapovic will be increasing their pricing effective March 1st. If you are thinking about picking up this exhaust, now is the good time to purchase.

Akrapovic is a European company and their pricing is based on Euro currency. With the fluctuations in currency rates the pricing gets adjusted once in a while. When the Euro was low in relation to the Dollar, Akrapovic actually lowered prices on their products.

That's what I discovered also, ...made to a standard - not to a price.

As i live in Europe i'd like to get it done at their factory, but i don't think my insurance covers anything (including potential theft) that happens in the eastern European countries prejudiced *******s...
I don't trust anyone else to install anything on my car except my dealer in Finland.

I contacted Akra directly and they do not sell/install out of their factory. They hooked me up with a local dealer which was certified for installation. The price was however, above the US price indication which pissed me off as I'm basically a neighbor to Slovenia. When I asked them how the price could be above that of a US supplier shipped 10.000 miles I didn't receive an answer.

In short, I really wanted this product but have since then changed my mind.
