ECoupe 500 Exhaust tips
#26
You have to modified the overall design of the ovalpipe in order to center with the new trapezial exhaust. Because the trapezial are higher(closer to the bumper) than the oval tailpipe, if U wish to maintain the original muflers U currently have ofcourse. I know a guy to installed in a 250CDI the 500 system, so it was more easy to him, just plug&play.
thanks for this, im going to take it to an exhasut specialist. im sure they will be able to do something for me?

left:straight pipe with right:modified/cuted/welded to center the oval exhaust tips trapezoid 500 exhaust tips
note: red are the exausht tips, right-oval(350), left-trapzoid(500)
In my 350CDI I asked for they to leave the oval exausht pipe so it will fill more perfectly the interior of the 500 trapezoid exhaust tips, like this:

Can U see the oval ones in the interior? They stand out very well, once I got better pics I will post them. Or U can just cut the exausht by the limit of the trapezoid exhaust as seen below:

If U choose to cut as if a 500 the cut of the exhaust in the interior of the trapezoid tips is at the mark of 2cm in the interior of the trapezoid exausht ok? I've measured it in my friends 250CDI-500 modified exausht-tips.
