4.4i black exhaust tip removal

[brucemillar]

Help please.

Do you know if I can easily remove the Black tips on my 4.4i (2001) exhaust. I want to pull them off so I can slide a single oval on top.

Many Thanks

I think they have to be cut off at a muffler shop, then you can attach the new oval ones. Can you tell me where to purchase the oval tips, I think I am going to do the same.

I got the ips on e-bay. Thay are for a 3.0 d. But I can cut off the jubilee clips and slide them onto the twin tips. I just think that the black tips make the fit too tight.

To remove the original black chrome tip coming with sport package, you only need to pull and twist the tip outward. Good luck.

Have done this before. Sit behind the exhaust and slowly wiggle them side ways to pull out. You can use a rubber mallet to tap lightly. It takes time but they will eventually come out if there is no rust. Good luck.

OK. AL went as you guys stated. A twist and pull and off they came. I did a backward parachute roll down the drive with the final one which came off way to easily. Many Thanks.

How about posting pics of your X5 before and after installation of new tips.

Glad to know someone ELSE did that besides myself!
