Akrapovic Carbon exhaust tips

hey guys, just wondering if you can just get the Akrapovic exhaust tips without the whole exhaust system (not really down to pay 8g for a few extra HP boost and like a 30lb weight difference) I'm only doing this for the cosmetic factor.

You can buy them by themselves, but I'm not sure what you can fit them too. They are bolt-on design, designed to bolt-on to the Akrapovic pipes. However I don't know the diameter of those pipes. I would guess 90mm which is wider than oem.

You should contact Cyba. He's making some 90mm tips which are slip-on and available in a carbon style similar to Akrapovic.

Akrapovic USA won't sell the tips unless you send photos of a damaged tip/exhaust.

Bmw is charging 8k for exhaust then additional $250 per titanium tip! I was quoted $9.2k out the door! I love the exhaust but it's kind of ridiculous

Looks like it's just the clear coat that is coming off. You can probably have those resprayed with clear. The easiest way to see is to spray some water on it, and if it looks clear like before (before the water runs off), then it's just the clear that needs to be redone. Any body shop can do that.
