I finally retired the original exhaust tips on my '99 in favor of these tasty tips I found on ebay for $28 (U.S.) each. They are slightly oval & slanted, 3.25" across (vs. 3" on the originals) w. very nice stainless finish & curves that complement the XK8. The originals were leaving light residue on the rear bumper, so I positioned these about 1" rearward from stock position. Quick tack weld ($32) by my muffler guy & the Jag is ready for another 125k miles. 2 1 4 inch Polished Stainless Steel Exhaust Tip with Slanted 3 1 4" Oval Outlet | eBay


New tips are slightly wider than stock (3.25" vs. 3") & a bit rounder.


I positioned the top center of the ends even w. the bumper lip above them.


A bit more presence than stock tips but still classy.



New tips are 1" further out from stock position to eliminate residue on bumper.

 

<p>looks nice Rick!</p>

 

Very nice indeed. The extra "presence" works in this case.

A good buy!

 

Very nice.

 

WAY COOL.....Mike

 

How easy (difficult) was it to remove the old tips?

 

Very easy w. a Sawzall. I cut them off just forward of the tips, fit the new tips over the tailpipes to the desired position, then welded.

 

I changed off the Mina tips for Borlla, 12" pipes I had hanging around. Seemed to help with the typical drone. Vrrrrrrm.

 

Looks good!
