Hey there,
can anyone clarify me about the exhaust tips of ECoupe 500? The tips are attached to the bumper as the sedan? Or are they together with their pots?

YYZ-E55

The exhaust tips on the 500/550 are connected to the rear diffuser; not connected to the exhaust system at all.

JoaoMerc

Could someone take a pic of the tip, looking directly to inside? Please!!!

John C

Shot at night with a flash so they aren't great, but I think you can get the general idea so as requested...











Especially in that last one you can kind of see that the start of the tip isn't connected, but is aligned.

Huge thanks JOHN C

Can I get one more requst please? Can someone share with me some ECoupe 500/550 VIN? just to see the part code of the tips, or if someone could post it, please

John C

Go to: http://www.rbmofatlanta.com/new-inve...-E_Class-E550+

And then click on any of the inventory and it shows the VIN, so you can check out the details of any car on the lot.

But now I'm curious, where do you go to get the part numbers for the build of any car based on the VIN?

JoaoMerc

At least, here in Portugal we got(Mercedes-Portugal) a program called EPC, wich, with the VIN introduced in the program we can check all the parts that are compatibable and applied to the car and so, check the part numbers.

Anyone know if other tips would fit my E550 Cab, I especially like the double barrel shotgun tips

As long as you have internet, you can have access to the EPC. https://epc.startekinfo.com/epc/start.jsp



BTW: I just checked it and it looks like the tip comes along with the rest of the exhaust, it doesn't have a separate part #. I might be wrong as I checked quickly.

JoaoMerc

Probably not... as seen above in the pics it seems that the tips are connected to the bumper... Anyone with more info on this?

dynomite05

Just because they are connected to the bumper doesn't mean they are offered separate. Here is a pic using a VIN off the link posted above. You can see where they offer the exhaust as one single piece, also the brackets to attach to the diffuser.

JoaoMerc

Can U post a pic of the bumper with the tips please?

dynomite05

The EPC doesn't show pictures like that.

JoaoMerc

So, just to be shore... if I order an ECoupe 500/550 rear bumper it will come automatically with the tips?

dynomite05

No, the tips come as part of the exhaust.

JoaoMerc

But they not appear in the picture post above

dynomite05

Yup, you are correct. Even though it looks like the tips are attached to the end of the exhaust in the picture above, they are not. I check the info for the rear bumper and what do you know.....the part #'s for the tips. My apologies for the confusion.

Left Tip- 207 490 16 27 $87 through parts.com

Right Tip- 207 490 17 27 $87 through parts.com

John, if possible, can you measure how wide the tips are at the widest point.

Beausoleil

As stated above, the tips are a separate part from the exhaust and from the bumper. Also, it is only the lower part of the bumper. the 'diffuser' if you will, which is different so there is no need to change the whole thing. I have not personally checked but I suspect the bumper part number for the E350 (and E200, E220, E250 in Europe) with AMG styling is the same as the E500/E550 but the two cars will have different 'diffusers' to accept either oval or trapezoid tips.

I'm being careful with my wording because I am not sure the smaller engined cars can be had with AMG/Sports styling in every market. Clearly, if you have the non-AMG styling (SE in Britain, Elegance in continental Europe), all parts of bumper assembly would need to be changed.

dynomite05

Using the same VIN, I checked the part # for the diffuser and it's 207 885 39 25 ($76 through parts.com). When I enter the # through the parts search it shows that it is used on the E500/E550 CGI in the states.

John C

7.25 inches

Because the tip is shaped like a parallelogram, that isn't the width from the left most point to the right most point of the tip as a whole, but it is the width across at any point across the middle of the tip (not the very top or bottom where it is slightly less due to curves corners).

dynomite05

Thank You.

JoaoMerc

One more question, does the tip need some extra support piece? Or it just attached to the bumper?

so sorry if i sound like a dummy but just to clarify i currently own a eclass cabriolet 350 and i want to change my exhaust tail pipes to the trapezial ones found on the e550.

i have to order

A207 490 1627 - which is the left tail pipe cover
A207 490 1727 - which is the right tail pipe cover

and then

A207 885 3925 - the rear diffuser bumper that will now fit the shape for the trapezial exhaust as my current one has oval shapes.

has anyone done this modification and will the oval pipes just unscrew and the new ones screw back on.

and have i missed anything that i should know.

thanks people in advance

JoaoMerc

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.
