Mate the system is not stainless, there will be corrosion. Use a dremel too to cut The attach pipe by exhaust clamp, set screw or welding.

James AFAIK the OEM tips are the cheap nasty tack bolt on items you describe... just unbolt them.

The oval tips are held on with a single bolt each side, but the chances are this will be corroded to buggery! with persuasion they will come off!. you are left with the plain steel exhaust tube, which comes all the way to the end of the oval finisher. So to fit tips, depending on the type (single/twin) you will have to trim the exhaust back anyway.
I have the halfrauds/ripspeed twin tips on mine, with the mounting tweaked to lose the huge exhaust clamp mounting. the pipe had to be trimmed back to where the oval trim finishes, hence how I know the exhaust pipe size, as I have a 4 1/5 stub in the now redundant oval trim!

Being a fan of Honda engines, I later went to Honda's Tochigi Research Center on two occasions and requested that they consider building for the McLaren F1 a 4.5 liter V10 or V12. I asked, I tried to persuade them, but in the end could not convince them to do it, and the McLaren F1 ended up equipped with a BMW engine.

I usually have nothing to do with Halfrauds unless I'm desperate, but I like the look of those twin exit parts in that pic................tempting, VERY tempting.

The tips have a neat recessed bolt underneath. You may or may not be able to undo it....if you can't, get your grinder out...
System is mild steel.
Tips are definitely not cheap, have you seen how much they are to replace????

Britlude, Looks great, did you DIY? When did you buy the tips as I'm very tempted! You had the mounting tweaked, what exactly you mean to lose/removed the big zorst mounting clamp, don't you need this clamp? Also you trimmed back the pipe, so did you just cut off the tip with pipe in it, just after the tip ends? Finally looking at yours, I assume the reminder of the pipe is inside the new twin tips & theres a clamp to hold onto the pipe at the other end of the tip? Sorry for the Qs. Thanks alot
Dan, YHPM !!-NOT really buddy!
Jim, so your too posh for Halfords!?
