Will the 96er33 Letterbox Exhaust Tip fit my car?

Measure the outside diameter of your tailpipe and compare it with the inlet size shown in the product images. Check there is enough room between the tailpipe and the bumper or valance for the outlet. As a universal part, some modification or fabrication may be needed to fit.

If you are unsure whether it suits your car, get in touch with your car details and a photo of your exhaust.

Specifications

How to measure for an exhaust tip

Measure the outside diameter of the tailpipe where the tip will sit, using a vernier caliper or a tape wrapped around the pipe. If you use a tape, divide the circumference by 3.14 to get the diameter.

The inlet of the tip needs to match or be slightly larger than the tailpipe so it can be clamped or welded securely. Then measure the space between the tailpipe and the bumper or valance opening. This tells you how large the outlet can be and how far the tip can stick out.

Choosing a style

Straight-cut tips sit square to the bumper for a clean look, while slant-cut tips are angled for a sportier profile. Pick the one that best matches the lines of your rear bumper.

Outlet size changes the look more than anything else. A larger outlet fills a bigger bumper cut-out, while a smaller one suits a standard bumper. Single, twin and quad layouts should follow the number of tailpipes and the shape of the rear bumper.

Clamp-on or weld-on fitting

Exhaust tips are usually either clamped over the tailpipe or welded on. Check the product images and description to confirm the fitting method before you order.

Whichever method you use, make sure the tip is lined up square with the bumper and does not touch the bodywork. The exhaust moves on its rubber mounts when the engine is running.

Fitting and care for the 96er33 Letterbox Exhaust Tip

Clean the end of the tailpipe before fitting, line the tip up and make sure it is secure. Re-check it once the exhaust has been through a few heat cycles.

Like any exhaust part, the finish will dull if road salt and soot are left on the surface. Clean the tip regularly with a dedicated metal or wheel cleaner and a soft cloth to remove soot and road grime and keep it looking its best.

Frequently asked questions

Does an exhaust tip change performance? An exhaust tip is mainly a cosmetic upgrade for the visible end of the exhaust. Any change in sound is usually small and depends on your system.

Can I fit the 96er33 Letterbox Exhaust Tip myself? This depends on the fitting method. Clamp-on tips can usually be fitted at home, while weld-on tips need a welder. Always let the exhaust cool fully before working on it.

What size do I need? Match the inlet to the outside diameter of your tailpipe, then choose an outlet size that suits the space in your rear bumper.
