Are they different to the Yeti tips that us GT owners fit? If so, if they are really bad, the Yeti ones are only £25 for the pair to replace, and simply push on.

I've had mine for well over a year and done nothing more than wash them when washing the car. They still look like brand new.

I don't think the diesel exhausts pipes get anywhere near as sooty as the petrol ones for some reason. :sad:

I've noticed this on Bevs cab, the yeti tips on that never need anything more than a wipe over. You'd think it would be the other way around eh?

The DPF on the diesel means no soot.

The petrols get much hotter, so the crap sticks to the tailpipes easier. Also, think of the little pop you get on the over run. If that is caused by controlled overfuelling (a tame version of anti lag on rally cars) there will be fuel being burnt off in the exhaust resulting in crap on the tailpipes.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I do like to listen to the pop on the rare day that its dry and i can have my windows open!
