Guys,

I just got a reply from a company named GGI Tuning and they are the official dealer of HARTGE products in the USA. Is this true ? I sent an email to HARTGE-Germany inquiring about HARTGE exhaust tips and this GGI Tuning replies to me that HARTGE does not sell only the tips but together with the muffler and pipes as one set. Hmmm.........

Hans ACS,

Can you help me out here.....

P.S. Check out website at www.ggituning.com

Hartge sells exhaust tips with adapters (extensions that connect to existing muffler)

http://www.hartge.de/e/bmw_auspuff_4552.html

they are expensive though..... ($1575 US for these tips)

for that money you're closer to getting a full exhaust...


note: i'll be installing the Bastuck system soon... (i'll keep you guys posted)

Hans ACS,

How much did you get those Hartge tips ? I recall in your previous post you mentioned around 700 euro ? How can I order the same item from Hartge-Germany without going thru GGI Tuning ?

regards,

the outside diameter of the tip on the 3.0si is almost 3 inches... i think it's actually 2.9... then it tapers a few inches down to about 2.6...

i noticed it when i removed the chrome tip covers that came with the vehicle...(i was also looking to replace these tips with hartge or something else..)

the actual exhaust tips do not come off... you would need to cut and weld something else on if you want to change the tips... (or get a muffler/tip kit)

i also went through a number of bolt-on tips to see if i could slide something over the stock exhaust... (nothing would fit..and the stock exhaust sticks out thus preventing any other tips to completely slide over and become flush with the bumper)

after a few weeks of trying different options i decided to go with a semi-full exhaust kit...(everything but the headers)

still in delivery so i haven't installed it yet..but hopefully soon...

Exhaust tips

After looking at all options ....
I have ordered the Hartge exhaust tips and have taken the dual tips not the single large one which is identical to the V8 4.2 ltr. ,
although the look of the dual tips is not origional for BMW it looks so much better than the 4.2 large single tip. But the cost is shocking 1100 Euro incl. air. but the stock market is picking up so... I may try to post a pic when it is fixed

Hartge Exhausts Tips

I have received the exhaust tips, the double type it looks great, as on the pic here on Xworld. But, the price was very very expensive and here in Australia i was told about an other brand with normal prices. One more thing the service of hartge in germany is bad bad bad i had to sent 5 emails 6 phone calls and still they managed to sent me the wrong part I think that they sent me the diesel type , anyhow the clamping part was far the large in diameter and thanks the the owner of the muffler shop it's ok now He made some adaptors and with welding it's fix. In all my emails to these hartge fellows i explain my car type/model and ask them to check my emails/type and be sure that i get the right part. Be careful never buy from hartge in Germany go to a dealer if you can but again there are less expensive exhausts tips makers DON'T USE HARTGE
