That's what I was wondering. I think it will require cutting tips though.

yes, these will require cutting of your stock tips.

hmmmm here's my opinion. I think those would be wayyyy too overboard for a mostly stock z with stock tips. Imo, to successfully pull that look off, u will need a lot of supporting visual mods. Else, the tips alone will come off as cheesy and trying too hard to get attention for the wrong reasons.

they look like the Carrera GT's

These are designed to fit aftermarket 2.5" exhausts like the ARK system that Econ is currently using. I haven't seen an aftermarket OR stock exhaust system for the Zs that utilizes a removable tip design. Unfortunately this leaves any customers to have to have a shop remove and install the new tips. If there is enough demand (I don't need much) I will make a version that can fit onto other size piping, like whatever size the stock exhaust uses, for example. As I understand, one of the first upgrades people make to the Zs is to change the exhaust. I decided that if someone is willing to change their exhaust, they are going to be much more wiling to install different tips than someone who buys a car and puts up the fuzzy dice and calls it good....so I built these to fit the aftermarket crowd's needs. I plan on talking to the exhaust companies about possibly getting tips from me for their systems, but it is way too soon for me to expect any of them to agree. I have to generate demand first.

The Akrapovic exhaust uses 2 different removable tip options, CF or Brushed Ti.
They would be a good company to look into perhaps... They are big in the motorcycle exhaust world too which I think if you could make a smaller version, you might get a lot of interest from them as well as they love to make their bikes as fast as jets anyways.

Already done. Coater was miffed.

I just sent an inquiry to Akropovic, since none of their documentation shows the exit tube diameter. Their tips have a slightly larger outer diameter (125mm vs. 114.3mm), and if they use 2.5" tubing, then the Afterburner tips will slip fit and clamp right on, with cutting slits in the clamping tube being the only modification needed (I may just laser cut this mod in advance and make it an option when you purchase). I'll let you know as soon as they contact me.

The GTR version are already clamp-on, and of course I would prefer this for the other Z exhausts. For example:

The Z version that has a little extra tubing so it can be trimmed to stick in or out as much as you want it to, and is slip on and WELD, like the tips that have to be removed. For example:

Thanks Chris!

This was done 2 years ago in the GTR community by Boost Logic...

No offence and just want to clarify...do you work for Boost Logic? Or is this a replica of those exhaust tips?

None taken.

It was a year ago last March actually, cause I was pulling a late night trying to get them to sit on the black GTR just right...in time for the Supra Meet. I designed the GTR version and once Zohair saw it on the car he wanted it on the kit. I used to hand make them for Boost Logic, but they were made by hand and not near the quality you are seeing here.

This has seriously grown on me. Down for pics. Too bad it won't fit without cutting the stock tips
