    Thanks for the heads up! Sorry they didn't work. I'll have to look for or come up with something else then. :frown5:

    Not a very good pic, but the sport tip is on the left.

    How far does that thing stick out? Looks like a couple inches minimum...

    They do stick out farther than the beer can ones, probably a couple of inches.

    I always thought the story behind the "beer can" tips was cool and part of the MINI story.

    There is a set of JCW tips for sale on NAM but I have no idea how to make them fit. I know the pipe diameters are different

    Dang, I just checked and those Sport tips are $160 at MiniMania. Pricey!

    MiniMania is way over priced on just about everything they sell. Check with Classic MINI, they are usually the cheapest dealer source.

    Ah, OK, thanks.
    I doubt their prices though are going to be in the $20 or so range like the tips here.
