Black Tips (Bolt-on Covers) for Active Exhaust Mustang

[Adeel3466]

I know there have been a few threads asking if it’s possible to get black tips on the active exhaust without replacing the whole axle-back just for black tips.

This has also been talked about on the 6G forums, but I never found a definitive answer, so I wanted to make this post for anyone like me who hated the silver tips but didn’t want to buy a whole new exhaust system just for the look.

There are a few slip-on covers out there, but most don’t hide the silver tips very well, and at around $400 that’s honestly absurd. I found these through a 6G forum post, so huge thanks to those guys for tracking them down:

They fit perfectly over the stock tips and just tighten down with an Allen key. For some reason, I had to tighten the right side substantially more than the left to keep it from moving, but other than that I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

A few people on the 6G forums mentioned using exhaust wrap underneath to help them tighten better, so I may still do that on the right side later.

Steeda makes a set as well, though they are quite spendy.

Those look sick. They slipped right on no issue? The 3.5” inlet ones? And also, you needed to purchase 4 I assume?

Is this the same thing but cheaper? Not sure.

How visible are the tightening bolts? Can you get a picture from a lower rear angle?

Also, how did you get them over the stock tips?

If you really look for them you can see them but not in passing I’ll get some lower pictures when I get a chance

They just slipped on over the existing tips

Oh I gotcha. Yeah definitely won’t clear the performance pack valence. The dark horse is 5” or something no?

 

[So0_NaSTy]

Anyways. Did you need to purchase a quantity of 4 of those or they came with 2 per?

I think DH is 4.5in but not 100% sure and they are singles so yea you will need 4 for quad tips.

Very good. Last question. Any issue with fit? Are they loose?
