Exhaust tips

[A4T]

Has anybody removed the tips from the exhaust for cleaning and/or replacement? Ours are a mess, caked on dust. I've had a quick go at cleaning them with metal polish but it would be much easier if I could take them off and clean them in a bucket. You can buy new tips so I guess they can be removed somehow!

Yes I did, have. Cleaned 'em but not with 100% success so replaced 'em with OEM black pipes from Chester Audi.

6-months on replaced the lot with a Milltek sans resonator, just brilliant.

Supercharged/turbocharged 185bhp A1 - can't fault it...

They come off very easily. Just pull and twist. I spent some time on them over the weekend and they are looking much better. Not perfect, but a huge improvement. Wire wool and some Autosol got them in decent shape.
