D4 Tailpipes - added a bit, outlet pipe temp?
A few of you have seen that I've had shiny tailpipes on my D3's and last D4. I didnt quite fancy the big round ones I'd had on the last D4, so have searched for some smaller oval ones. Well I found these from a Chinese seller on ebay - Stainless steel, £32.99 inc shipping from China, ordered 17th Oct, arrived 2nd Nov, pretty good service if you ask me. They don't point directly out the back like my older ones did, they are more angled down, but they also have an outlet hole directly underneath in line with where the original outlets are. Dont look to bad, and happy to give them a whirl for 30 quid.

tailpipe temp question
Hopefully a quick(ish) one. Can one of you kind souls, when you have driven your D4 for 20mins or so (or about 10 miles) see how hot your downward facing standard exhaust outlets are (not the muffler boxes - the actual outlet pipe). Can you do it as soon as you stop - Are they too hot to touch?
Thanks

They look good and I would certainly like to give them a go on my 2015 D4.
I have searched E Bay found plenty but had no luck finding any like yours, any chance of a pointer ?

So, to answer my own question first, yes the standard tailpipes get f****g hot - too hot to touch. I guess this was the case with my old D4 as well, but I just never noticed. I just need to make sure theres a tad of clearence between the trims and the bumper.
