Part number for OEM exhaust tips, and a question about S6 Sports exhaust
 
First, apologies if this has been asked and answered. I've searched and looked at supplier sites but cannot find the information I need.

1. Can anyone supply me with a part number for the OEM exhaust finishers (exhaust tips) for a 2016 S6 with Sports exhaust? They're the black chrome finish version. I use Nevr-Dull to clean my exhaust tips and it's taken the black finish off the tips for some reason. I'd like to buy new OEM tips but I can't seem to find the part.

2. Every diagram I've been able to find shows an exhaust flap on both left and right mufflers. On my car, the driver's-side muffler has no such valve or servo motor assembly. I was a bit surprised to make this discovery today whilst detailing my car, and I haven't managed to find any meaningful information. Any info? If you have an S6 with Sports exhaust, can you take a look at your driver-side muffler to see if your car is the same as mine?

That stinks that the black finish came off with Nevr-Dull. Unfortunately the tips are part of the rear muffler assembly. So OE $$$$. Sorry. Maybe a skilled exhaust shop can replace them with aftermarket.
As for the flaps the 2016 sport exhaust moved the driver's side flap to before the rear muffler.

You're the best, gk1 - thanks! I found the flap on the driver side right where it belongs :)

As for the tips, are you saying they cannot be purchased separately? That would tremendously suck and seems like a horrible oversight. I don't mind if they're expensive from the dealer, but if I had to buy all new mufflers that would be insane.

Exactly the tips are tacked to the rear mufflers and they look to be about $500 each online.
Like I said a good shop could probably replace the tips with aftermarket ones but unless you find a set in a junkyard (zero chance of that) you cannot get just the OE tips.
Let us know if you find another less costly option since the black tips are the one thing I'd like to add to mine since the normal chrome is alway black and pits quickly.
