wow the factory exhaust tip replacement is EXPENSIVE

[supermike]

So I did some gnarly trail this weekend and I know for sure the exhaust would be gone. Thought about taking the tip off before the trip but said fuck it let it be. Then this is what happened. I won’t replace it but just out of curiosity….

WTF!!! I haven’t closely inspected them but they look like normal exhaust pipe to me that any competent muffler shop could bend up for a small fraction of the price

When a buyer is willing to drop 70k+ on a Jeep, I'm certain Jeep wants paid for parts as well

But yeah that price is ridiculous.

That's ridiculous. Should be able to find an aftermarket slip on for half that. Or, cut them off and have an exhaust shop make a down turn coming out of the muffler so it doesn't happen again.

Snatch up some aftermarket black tips.

I think a muffler shop could heat and re-round the tip to it's correct shape and bend the tailpipe back, at least my muffler shop could, $20.00 labor should cover it and 5 mins. time.

80k for Jeep. Beats it up. Complains about expensive parts.

I wonder if a simple tail pipe expander could get it back to round for ya.

in case someone want to have a different look of that tip. 15mm nut and some wd40 2 minute job.

exactly the same. Exhaust on or off. Idle to wot nothing different.

Well you just debunked the "I noticed a change in tone with bigger tips" that you see all over the internet, lol.

Exhaust pipe extender works. And no, I won’t put them back on. Without the tip, it’s even more stealth, harder to know it’s a 392…
