Firstly where did you get them from and secondly what was the overall length of the tips you installed?

I have removed one of my standard tips and have realised my original pipes come flanged towards the end making them around 67mm dia

Mounting the tips on in this position would mean the tips would protude out from the bumper too much so want to be sure to order the right ones?

Thanks
The standard tips are good for target practice at my gun club..
Ok,I was lucky to find two of the ones I wanted on UK eBay and the other two were from Far East ordered singly as custom size, they won't do more than one at a time.They were £35 each with free postage while the two from UK were £40 for the two so ended up paying £110 for four Akropovic tips with angle cut ends.
To see them more go to the 'random shot of the day' thread and see what you think.
it's important to specify 69 or 70mm inlet with, well, mine were 89mm outlets and total length 135-145mm so you can pull them out more than what the standard pipes were pushed right in.
There is a site called Ali Baba where poster OneExtra purchased his from though I'm not sure if you can get all four at once. Remember though that getting all four at once means import penalty charge.

Please keep us updated. I’m so annoyed I’ve lost one and had to go back to the originals - doesn’t look as aggressive

I guess each to their own. but the link you provided (https://kemir.en.alibaba.com/product...c4977bdanlmn25) in particular state a length of 155mm - 165mm unless you customize.

I had seen a set on ebay which were specifically designed for the F10. Upon questioning they stated their ideal size was 105mm max tip length.
M5THEONLYONE recommended 135mm odd according to his preference.
So really it comes down to individual taste as to what size and how much they would want the exhaust tips protruding from their bumper

You can move them back and forth to put them where you want there is probably about 80mm of travel

Just to add here that I went for longer overall as the larger 89 outlet diameter including the carbon would be longer going back to the inlet diameter pipe for my particular need. It does take a few measurements and head scratching to work out what you actually want and how you want it to look like.

Right guys to update all those interested.

Finally received my tips, ordered from Aliexpress and got them for a total of £90 including shipping. Not sure if i will get hit with import taxes at a later date but for now all good.

I ordered 70mm inlet. 90mm outlet and a max tip length of 105mm.
However upon receiving the guy sent me 120mm length.

Refer to pics below but i have fitted in a position i like.
For those who would like to fit in a position further out i would recommend any size between 120-135mm max tip length.

If you prefer a position same as myself or further in then i would recommend anything between 100-110mm max tip length.

Hope thats helps anyone out

I think they look spot on. If you had got the 105mm they would have been tucked under to much like the stock ones.

Tbh 105mm would have been bang on.
At this moment the tips are pushed right back as much as i can. Even a few mm i cannot push them in further (not like i want to) but due to this i am currently mounting on the brim of the original tip flange so they do not seat 100%

Hence my recommendation of 105

They look spot on in my opinion and yes you will get a tax bill at a later date, probably about £40
