Not sure if these are OEM> dont remeber the little holes on the outlet side!
I know you can get it on ebay (oem for sure) for 43+shipping or so.

Make sure, that they are stainless steel. Chrome plated regular steel won't take the heat and they will rust in a few weeks.

Default Yeah, like he said....

My $4.99 tips were merely chromed steel, and they are indeed getting somewhat unsexy rust spots inside. Still damn hot from a distance though.......<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/76059.phtml">clicky</a></li></ul>

Those should fit, they are not OEM, but they are supposedly stainless, for the cost + shipping you can virtually buy the OEM's.

Marco-

You can post a link by cutting and pasting the link in the "Optional Link URL" box below the box where you type your response. Then you can name it by typing in the "Link Text" box below that so you don't have this huge link.......

If they are OEM, they are for the A6 only.....the A8 and the A6 have different extensions from Audi.

The ones from Audi are very nice but the screws have to be cut down.
