Square tips
How many 231 SL owners really like rectangle exhaust tips that are part
of the body, or are there many of you who would prefer oval or round tips.
I have decided to change mine, I have bought 2 new tips left and right,
and I am going to get round pipes grafted on. I have done a little mod on
the back which makes it look IMO much better. I will put up pictures in the
near future , if I lived in the States that would be a few days, but this is England where everything takes ages , that's if you can find someone to do
it.

I actually like the new exhaust designs. Just like you I am no fan of the fake tips but that seems to be the norm across manufacturers. Have the same on the BMW... Brabus actually has some tips that appear to be milled steel rather than bent metal. Not sure if those are separate tips or part is a complete exhaust

I'm not a big fan of the round tips, but I do wish there was a good AMG styled option (like the red car above) that replaced the existing body mounted tips. You'd think it would be a relatively inexpensive piece to produce
