    Akrapovic carbon fibre exhaust tips for V10

    These are now available to order in the UK for £513.30 exc. VAT (where applicable) from Titanium Performance who are the UK dealer for Akrapovic. http://www.titaniumperformance.co.uk/contact-us

    Titanium Performance are not able to ship overseas because Akrapovic have specific dealers on each continent.

    Akrapovic USA have already confirmed that they are not willing to sell the CF tips separately so your only option is to buy the full Akrapovic system.

    The only option is therefore to keep hounding Akrapovic USA to sell the tips separately or have someone in the UK buy them and forward them to you.

    Stock tips are ~£99 each plus VAT and imagine the work involved in crafting the carbon fibre pieces. The Akrapovic tips are also crafted pieces, not just the Audi pieces with a bit of carbon thrown on.

    That's the price you pay for beautiful carbon fibre pieces.

    Or get any of the German carbon fibre shops to make a few sets for forum members. Did someone say group buy?

    I for one don't want to see someone's logo on my car, even if it's small, so I'd pay extra to get units done without the logo.

    Hey Fifty, how are they able to get the tips separately from Akrapovic? My friend is a distributor for them here in the States, and they won't release just the tips to them....
    And I agree, these are definitely a piece of art!

    Re: Akrapovic carbon fibre exhaust tips for V10

    The UK distributor of Akrapovic exhausts sells the tips separately all the time, they may have an exclusivity agreement. M3R8, once you have setup a company to make the exhaust tips including carbon fibre please do let us know. Until that time, these are all that is available to my knowledge in terms of R8 carbon fibre exhaust tips.

    I don't mind the logo at all because the carbon fibre really does it for me.

    If you think you could get a groupbuy together for these tips then I would like to see it. People are always too eager to shout 'groupbuy' without realising what is involved. You might need at least 10 confirmed orders to even get a whiff of a discount and that discount may only be 5% if anything. I doubt we can get 10 people interested in purchasing these and even if we did, they would scream at the price and poor discount % anyway.

    The volume of interest may be alot greater for carbon fibre tips made by one of your german CF shops but that shop would have to either wrap OEM tips or build tips from scratch and who knows what the cost would be without enquiring.

    Would the correct conversion to U.S. dollars be approximately $836.00 then?
