Tried to get S4 exhaust tips for my 2.8...

But Clair says that the part # is not in the database yet.
I wonder if they'll even fit...anyone know?
Thanks...

Underside picture of S4 tips...

<center><img src="http://131.107.68.28/a4org/S4_Tips_Underside.jpg"></center><p>Pic I took of the S4 exhaust tips...kind of looks like they just slide on the "real" exhaust tips. You'd probably have to remove the stock "tips" from your exhaust (they look like stainless-steel sleeves) and then slide the S4 ones on in their place. Not sure if the rear muffler is the same as the A4 2.8 or not. Hope this helps in some way.

My '96 2.8 doesn't have tip "sleeves"...what am I missing?

You have to look under the car....

Hmmm...the stock exhaust on my '97 1.8T had a noticeable portion at the end (maybe 4 inches in length) that appeared to be spot-welded onto the actual two exhaust pipes exiting the rear muffler. I assumed that the 2.8 exhaust was the same way. You will have to peer under the car to see what I'm talking about...from the rear it looks like just two single pipes.

Either my monitor is not that good, or that's a carbon fiber muffler. Is it? Sweet.

and the 2.8 doesn't have this, so I don't think they are the same.

1.8T and 2.8 exhaust appear to be similar up to the resonator..

At least I have both types sitting in my garage after I pulled out A4ALLAN's and mine.

Here's a picture of the OEM 1.8t rear muffler...

I think if you were to remove these stock "tips", you might be able to replace them with the S4 tips...of course this is pure speculation on my part.
