About

What Are Exhaust Tips? Exhaust tips are the visible finishing pieces at the end of a vehicle’s tailpipes. They primarily change the exhaust outlet’s appearance through different sizes, shapes and finishes, such as polished stainless steel or black coatings. For a compatible fit, match the tip’s inlet to the tailpipe’s outside diameter and check the mounting requirements and available clearance. Choose Exhaust Tips by Inlet Size, Outlet Diameter and Length The right exhaust tip starts with the connection to your existing tailpipe. Whether you are comparing black exhaust tips, stainless steel exhaust tips or a larger outlet for your truck, check the inlet size first. Then choose an outlet diameter and overall length that suit the available space and the look you want.

Compare the available 5-inch, 6-inch and 7-inch outlet options after checking the actual outside diameter of your pipe and the product’s specified fitment. A 4-inch inlet with a 6-inch outlet still connects at the 4-inch end; the larger outlet does not make it fit a 6-inch pipe. 5-Inch Inlet Exhaust Tips For a compatible 5-inch tailpipe, compare 5-inch inlet exhaust tips with the available 6-inch, 7-inch or 8-inch outlets. Check clearance around the bumper, hitch and bodywork before choosing a larger outlet. Engine size or truck model alone does not confirm fitment, especially if the exhaust system has already been replaced. How to Measure Your Tailpipe for an Exhaust Tip Measure the pipe where the new tip will attach, with the exhaust completely cool. Do not measure the visible outlet of an existing decorative tip and assume it is t
