Exhaust on ebay

seen this on ebay? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RANGE-ROVER-SPORT-SU...dZViewItem
Don't mean to be negative but I think it looks a bit chavvy.

Your right I too think it looks a bit chavvy. But on the subject I believe there is an exhaust for the sport that resembles that of the Audi RS6 ie. large oval ( bigger diameter than standard fit ). I will do some serching for pic/details etc.

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Why do folks like to highlight their tail pipes................. I much prefer the system on my Sport and on the RR that I had where they are hidden awy out of sight under the skirt of the rear valance. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Really? I can't stand hidden tailpipes personally... I love cars that make points of their exhausts. In fact, given the presence of the SC I think its pipes could have been a lot better to look at. The RS6 pipes are lovely... as are the V8 Cayenne pipes. I like the four-pipe sets on the M3/M5 too. In fact the pipes on the E60 M5 are simply stunning to look at!

I Agree completely..
Was going to have mine done, but am going to wait till there are more suppliers about i think.. its a bit too expensive right now, and that ebay auction looks like a very cheap and tacky alternative!

United Kingdom 2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Bonatti Grey

How about just fitting the clamp on chrome ends? Much cheaper and does the same job - doesn't it?
While I wouldn't normally be a fan of showing off the exhausts, seeing the pics in the gallery of owners how have done this, I think it does suit the RRS well, as long as it is subtle and the exhausts don't protrude much further than they should do.
I would like to try and push on or clamp on chrome tips, as I’m not willing to splash out on changing the rear pipes. Matt

I've been looking into it this evening and searching all evening on the net. The problem is that the exhausts tips on the diesel are oval (72mm x 56mm) and while you could fit a round chrome tip of around 80mm diameter, the length of these are far too long. Ideally it needs one at only 75mm long, but most this diameter are more than twice that - and it doesn't look like you hacksaw them shorter either.

I also found some silver exhaust paint, but that wouldn't look very good.

I think the answer is to what Toodeep did and get the ends cut off and weld some new tips on. See
