What's involved

What this repair actually is.

Exhaust tips are the visible finishers on your tailpipe, and a fresh set sharpens the look of the rear end in minutes. We size the tips to your tailpipe, align them straight, and secure them by bolt clamp or a small tack weld so they never rattle loose.

Symptoms

How you can tell.

  • Rusty or discolored tailpipe ends
  • Tips missing or hanging crooked
  • Want an upgraded look after a muffler job
  • New bumper or diffuser needs matching tips
If you delay

Purely cosmetic — no harm in waiting, though rusty tips can stain the bumper over time.

Educational estimate. Real pricing depends on your vehicle, the inspection, parts availability, taxes, and shop rates. Use this as a guide while you shop quotes.
