If anyone is looking for a matte black tip, this one from Amazon is cheap and an easy fit and install. I might want to paint the hardware black, but otherwise, I like it.
I might end up getting that one from Amazon above. The one from eBay did NOT fit. They sent the wrong item after waiting all that time for it to arrive from China. Ugh.
I think this is the 2nd one without the Honda logo. http://m.ebay.com/itm/Stainless-Rear-Exhaust-Muffler-Tip-End-Pipe-For-Honda-Vezel-HR-V-HRV-2014-2016-/162022160026?nav=SEARCH
The tips that are labeled for the HRV and Vezel look like they go on a straight tip exhaust pipe from muffler. Anyone have to cut the bend off or is it made internally to compensate for the bend?
pearlwhite01, did the bottom of your muffler tip look like this? I just received mine today and it looks like it might restrict the exhaust since the original pipe curves down and this tip is straight.
I wanna give my experience on the exhaust tip I purchased for anyone thinking of buying the same one.
This is a universal tip and not specifically made for the HR-V. The inner diameter is huge and it fits very loosely over the original muffler tip. The 2 screws that come with it aren't long enough to provide a secure fit. There are 2 small plates with threads welded on the exhaust tip for the screws to go in. Each plate has 4 welds, one on each corner, that hold the plate in place. 2 of the welds on one of the plates came off and made the screw go in crooked and eventually stripped the threads. Once the two screws are completely tightened, they pull the exhaust tip down instead of keeping it straight.
I took it to my father last night so he can weld some nuts inside the tip for the screws and also make a 3rd whole on top to keep the tip from facing down. I'll post an update with the outcome once I get it back and install it.
Hehe. It's not too big of a deal if you're handy with tools or have a means of getting things fixed. It would suck for someone not very handy to purchase this expecting it to be plug and play.
