XSeries-forum

Just bought this motor, and as you can see in the pic below its fitted with some aftermarket racey tailpieces. Dont like them at all, as they are oval and not the rounded rectangle shape of the V8 X5's. Any ideas where I can get replacement pieces similar to the v8 x5's for not too much money? I know dealers want over £70 each for new ones... I'd be happy with a set of used original ones, or closely matching (to original) aftermarket ones.
cheers

EDIT:
Sorry, I'm an idiot, forgot to add the image!

can't see pics? ???

Try now!  :-[

Are the pipes active or dummy?

They are properly welded on, in fact, it would appear to have a sports exhaust cos it definitely has a nice tone to it... I actually thought it was a petrol car when I first heard it fire up - sounds quite nice actually.

I think these are the nearest you'll get unless you go OEM!

[/quote] I like the look of those & fairly close to the stock look for the 4.6/4.8is 

any place that makes exhaust will be able to sort this for you, the ends i got within 4mm of the oem 4.8is tips were £35 each so quick cash offer saw the pair for £50, they would then charge you 1-2hr labour i would think to weld them on unless you can weld your own on as i did
