Fish Tail Stainless Exhaust Tips
- Fishtail exhaust tips for motorcycles can be found from a variety of sources, such as online retailers (see "Resources"). Prices for stainless steel motorcycle fishtails tips ranges from under $100 to as much as $500 or $600 for the higher end brands. You can also find a wide selection of fishtail tips on eBay, where there will be a selection of used as well as new tips to choose from. Your local Harley-Davidson dealer, motorcycle dealer or motorcycle parts store will have a selection to choose from as well.
- If you are installing fishtail tips on a car, the tips should be welded on for a permanent installation, though some tips are held on with clamps. Simply slide the tip over the existing exhaust pipe and tighten the clamps or screws that fasten the tip. Motorcycle fishtail tips and mufflers come in two varieties: one that is a tip that slides onto the end of the exhaust pipe; the other is a slip-on muffler, which, as the name implies, slips onto the exhaust and replaces the existing muffler. The installation of a set of fishtail slip-on mufflers should be done by a shop unless you have the proper tools and experience.
- Thanks to the durable nature of stainless steel, tips made from this material are relatively easy to take care of. Simply clean them regularly with warm soap and water. Once they're clean, give them a protective finish by using a high-quality stainless-steel polish.
