Howdy folks, where can I get new exhaust tips from ? I'm not after original, looking for something a little different.

I don't know of any company making tips anymore. You might find some old stock by searching like ebay or some of the aftermarket people. I think Airflow can still cut some round pipe for stacks. They still show them on their web site. Couple of different cuts. Grumpy still makes tips to insert into the stacks I think. Those are my favorites, but there is scant little else cooldude

Thanks, I'll check out ebay for a while but very little on it bar original ends:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NICE-USED-OEM-1997-HONDA-VALKYRIE-GL1500-CHROME-EXHAUST-TIPS-MUFFLER-/281051674702?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D4919508995367667882%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D281051674702%26

If all else fails I can get a pair made over here but thought it might be cheaper if there was someone just selling them.

Cobra made a set a while back, they slip on in place of the factory honda tips. looked like slash cut stacks.  MY parts guy at the local dealer found them doing some spring cleaning.  Sold them to me for 80 bucks....

Hey QUIETMAN,

Without modifying the exhaust or adding truck stacks, the only modified tips I am aware of are the triple tips that I believe were actually Honda accessories.

They are now very rare in the US, so expect even more so on your side of the pond.

They show up on ebay every now and then, but shipping may make them even more cost prohibitive.  You might also check with Michael Terry about a set.  He sometimes has parts and accessories not listed in his online storemichaeljterry@yahoo.com  He was under the weather some time ago, but that was a while back.  Hopefully he is better now.

As a final bonus, I will be traveling to Ireland in March.  If you find something here in the States that does not weigh too much, I would be happy to bring it to Ireland with me and drop it in the post to you over there.

Good luck.

If you want to go with truck stacks (and who wouldn't) you might want to look at Grumpy's. He's a vendor here and has some amazing looking tips.

Made my own out of the 4" exhaust tips that the local muffler shops weld onto the 2 1/4 tailpipes that all the redneck trucks have in my area.  Grin


I cut the shrink down part off leaving a perfect slide on fit over the end of a stock Honda exhaust can. Cut tip next to stocker.


Chopped it off with this saw. Put masking tape on the cutting area.


Marked & drilled the holes for the retaining bolts using the stock tips for a template.
Finished product. You can angle them anyway you want, just make up your mind before you drill the bolt holes!  Grin

That's tidy and different to the original. Thanks for the offer of bringing something to Ireland, very much appreciated but I've found a company here that will make me tips or can have stock ones on the shelf which can be modified and are very reasonable with their pricing.
