Choosing the right exhaust tips for your inventory is about fitment, finish, and margin. This guide covers the sizing and selection logic we use with our wholesale and OEM customers.
Understand Inlet, Outlet, and Length
- Inlet diameter: the size that clamps or welds onto the existing exhaust pipe. Match it to the pipe's outside diameter.
- Outlet diameter: the visible tail end. Larger outlets give a more aggressive look but must clear the bumper opening.
- Length: total depth of the tip; too long will protrude, too short will look recessed.
Every product page lists all three dimensions. For universal tips we offer a wide inlet range (e.g. 51–80mm) so one SKU covers many vehicles.
Universal vs Vehicle-Specific
- Universal tips: one part fits many cars when measured correctly. They carry lower SKU overhead and are the backbone of most aftermarket lines.
- Vehicle-specific tips: engineered for a single platform (BMW M, Mercedes AMG, Audi RS, Porsche). They command a higher price and convert buyers who want a guaranteed fit.
A balanced catalog stocks universal tips for volume plus a vehicle-specific range for high-margin enthusiasts.
MOQ and Stocking Strategy
Universal tips are typically quoted per carton (roughly 20–30 pieces depending on model). Vehicle-specific and OEM parts are quoted case by case. We recommend starting with the most common inlet and outlet sizes, then expanding into colours and carbon-fiber variants once a size proves itself.
Sample Before You Commit
Always order a sample to verify fitment and finish against your market's expectations. Sample fees are often credited back on your first bulk order — confirm when you inquire. See our wholesale process and MOQ for the full workflow.
