Ok, I sorted out the Magnaflow Tips issue -- thanks to you gentlemen for all of your opinions/input!
Now I've got larger 3.75" diameter tips that fit the exhaust opening very nicely.
The tips are staggered as you can see. And, they no longer stick out too much like my previous installation.
Can't wait to install the CSi rear valance/diffuser!

Looks awesome! well done and good choice. looks great , i got the same ones on my 94, I am thinking of the Remus for my 97 to replace the factory ones. pics will be posted soon. Man, if I could get mine to look like this... Hi Moonslook the Remus pipes always sound good, i heard them on Mercs The tips I had installed are:

Thanks :) I'm debadging the car and I'm adding custom lettering. I will take pics when it's done. And no, there won't be the V8 anymore... Hi
Check out my exhaust tips, the pics aint that clear i took pic at night time
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh247/psinghbm/Picturepl003.jpg Nice!
Are the tips the OEM 840Ci chrome slip-ons? I had them on my OEM exhaust setup, they are very nice. Hi yes they are the original as soon as i got the car i put them on.
My exhausts have previously been renewed so i thoght id change the tips.
I will get some proper pics of the car asap
Thanks
P The original black ones are the most beautiful ones. I disagree! On a black car you can barely see them. I disagree! On a black car you can barely see them.
As I, the OEM units are horrid in both style and sound (or lack there of). I also agree that black tips are not nice at all. One exception: if you have a white E31.
Soundwise, stock is not so great unless you want a sedate driving experience. This is nice if you have an E38 or E32 V12 (I liked owning these big V12s because they were nice luxury sedans and they were quiet).
But the E31 needs all the help it can get to sound like what it looks like. I believe you can get the "V8" tag on e-bay... be aware that the font is not correct and does not match the 840ci. I think they are from a benz. If it's what you want... it's close. I put the V12 on my 740 which was tagged as a 750 when I bought it (honest) it looks good and I put it on just cause it was what I wanted to do... When I bought it I questioned the guy about the rebadge, he said you see it, it looks phatt, you gonna change it? I said probably not and haven't
The car looks bad ass and that's just the way it is (IMO). Black with 750 chrome grill, Xenon headlights, White tail lights, side markers and blingkers, match painted rocker panels, chrome trunk lid trim, dual Sebring oval tip mufflers thru the rear valance and tinted windows w/clean black interior.
