8 Woeful Fake Exhaust Tips We’ve Seen Lately
Car makers just can’t seem to help themselves when it comes to designing-in fake exhaust tips, and we’ve just got to call some of them out on it
Those of you who’ve been with us a while will know that this isn’t the first time we’ve compiled a list of offenders when it comes to crimes against exhaust design. A few years ago we highlighted seven sinners with pointless, and slightly embarrassing, fake tips.

Audi A7
Mercedes-Benz E-Class
Alfa Romeo Stelvio
BMW M850i
Renault Sport Megane
Audi SQ5
Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe
Are there any we’ve missed/forgotten/forcibly had removed from our brains? Let us know in the comments!
