Right side exhaust tip on Right Muffler flew off[PICS]...PLEASE ADVISE!!!
So my tip had a little shake in it. I decided after work today I would get it welded, however last night i made a quick run and when i got home last night I noticed the whole pipe included the tip was gone. I'm not even sure where it could be. Now the Dealer wants $1500 for a complete right side exhaust which I think is insane. I've seen some on Ebay but would rather not take that route. I know that nobody will just cut it off of a perfectly fine exhaust that they might have for sale.... Im loosing my mind think about this. Lately I feel that the car is just giving me so many minor issues(which I really dont mind) but when these minor issues keep piling up.. its gets so stressful. Does any one have any links on where i could buy these pieces?????

Wow, I have not seen that one happen...Sorry about that man...From everything I've ever seen you have to by the muffler to get the tips. I guess you could get an ebay tip (I'm with you on the not wanting to go that road) and find a shop that could bend and weld to connector tubing to the tip and muffler..?? I get dealer parts at wholesale, but it's usually only around 15-20% off...

Have you looked into titanium tips? They look awesome and any decent muffler shop should be able to put them on for a lot less then $1,500!
You also may want to look at the tips listed below on this page

I know the one tip would be off so why not just do all 4? It's only $260 for all 4. That's less then the ebay exhaust you showed.
Idk, just throwing out options, trying to save a fellow E55 brother some money lol Only down side is they don't say ///AMG but they may be able to do something.
You would want to measure them first as they might be to big/small.

Someone totally "Midnight-Auto'd" your tip off, I bet they were going for all (4) but you or someone else spooked them from finishing the heist...
Tips don't just fall/break off like that period. Looks like they prolly tried this some time ago as carbon build up surrounds/covers most of the cut, they got 3/4 the way thru & ran, notice the last bit of shiney metal? That is where it finally gave way.
