Exhaust tips

Exhaust tip prices and what to ask in the US

Exhaust tips cost about $12 to $160 in the United States, depending on the material and whether the tip is a basic bolt-on or a brand-name model. The prices below are approximate, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. For a quote that fits your pipe, send a request on BlaBlaPrice, and sellers reply with their own offer.

Warranty and federal rules

An aftermarket exhaust tip does not void your whole warranty. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer cannot void the warranty because of an aftermarket part unless it can prove the part caused the problem. The factory warranty usually covers exhaust parts for at least 3 years or 36,000 miles, so check your owner's manual. For commercial trucks, federal rules require exhaust systems to be securely fastened and kept away from fuel lines and wiring.

Season and where to fit it

Winter runs December–February and summer June–August in the northern cities, so plan a fitting for a dry day. In New York and Chicago the cold months make outdoor work harder. In Phoenix and Houston the June–August heat makes a hot exhaust pipe a bigger risk while you work, so let it cool first. Order in November if you want the tip fitted before winter.

Sizes and how tips are sold

Listings give sizes in inches, for example a 2.25-inch inlet, a 2.5-inch outside diameter and an 8.25-inch length. Many tips are sold as bolt-on, so check the mounting holes and the pipe's outside diameter before you order. Ask whether the tip is round or oval, since the shape must fit the tailpipe.

What to write in your request

Give the pipe diameter, the tip shape (round, oval or angled cut), the material, the car model, the quantity, and whether your car has a single or dual exhaust. Add your delivery city (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston or Phoenix) and your budget.
