Yeah I wasn't 100% sure about them before fitting them, I thought with them being black they might blend in too much and become 'invisible', but I'm pretty pleased with how they look, and a fraction of the price of weld-on tips etc.

Did they slip on ok? No scratching of original pipe?

I followed some advice I think from the golfmk7 forum, and opened up the 'prongs' (I'm sure there's a word for them) inside a little, otherwise it is very snug. It's very secure, only minimal force needed to push them on, but also not too tight so they can be rotated once they're on to make sure the bevelled end is pointing the right way,  Any scratching would probably happen on removal, due to the direction the springy prongs inside point, but I haven't taken them off so I don't know yet!

Bit of a daft question but is the sound from them the same?

Haha, I'd like to think there was a more throaty roar from them, but the sound is of course exactly the same.
