Exhaust tips

[BIG_G_1979]

Hi guys just bought a e280 cdi sport which has 2 exhausts one each side at rear i have seen other sports to which these tips are chrome mine look black did these come in black to? Or are mine just really dirty? If so how can i take these off to clean thanks

Try and clean them first as some come with no DPF hence tips can get quite dirty

Post up your VIN on here and one of the members will tell you. Mine is a 57 plate E280 OM642 engine without DPF. Whether it's good or bad is probably open to debate,iv never had a car with a DPF so I couldn't tell you the benefit of it

Better with to keep exhausts clean. Better without if you do lots of short journeys (and if you do, ensure you give it a half hour Italian tune up once a week).

You have the same Spec as mine without DPF meaning your exhaust is just sooty. Needs a good clean that's all,I scrub mine about once a month
