Exhaust tip install

gatorfast · 10-07-2017, 12:48 PM

Help me I'm stuck! I'm replacing my oem chrome exhaust tips with the oem black ZCP tips and I can't get them on! I have done the hard part in removing the chrome tips. All the DIYs say the new tips should slip on easily but that is not the case for me and I am having a lot of trouble. Any tips?

Never mind I got them on good enough. Not sure why mine were so difficult when it seems like everyone else was able to just push them in with ease. They were very difficult to push on and when I was finally able to get them to the point where they were 90% on I was having trouble making sure the outlet pipe tucked neatly behind the lip of the exhaust tip.

It helps if you spray some wd40 on the raw pipes.

Lots of WD40 and leave them to soak for half an hour. Then tap them on with a rubber hammer
