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.
Sadly the trend still hasn’t burned in the fires of Hades like we want it to. We’ve seen a glut of them again lately and it’s name-and-shame time again. Sit back and let your blood slowly (or quickly) boil over yet another batch of shamefully-designed rear ends.
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!

Mercedes just infuriates me, they can’t style cars to save their life and they do fake exhausts on almost every car
agreed
Mercedes are the absolute worst.
Fake exhausts aside, I actually like the way Mercs look.
The Mégane and 850i are fine tbh, they aren’t fake exhausts they’re just pieces surrounding the exhaust pipes, unlike Mercedes who always tries to hide them.
Yes, like the Aventador
The Stelvio’s isn’t all that bad either
Stelvio is the worst…irl is also worse than in a photo
Well after seeing all these mercs i will say that you are quite wrong. The stelvio at least have real exhaust surrounded by some elements. The megan and the stelvio both are way better than the others.
What about the 2018 Bentley Continental GT? Just look at those exhaust tips!
Disgusting
lol the right tip looks sad
The worst perpetrator of all, the Merc C250
S560e is worse! They have two round pipes behind the square trim piece on each side
I want to slap whoever thought that this was a good idea.
tbh, apart from mercedes and the atlas, they all seem ok. The A7’s aren’t even fake exhausts, it’s just trim
The A7’a are heat fake heat extractors if you ask me like it has an engine (hopefully the RS7 will have a defuser there)
These are almost all trim pieces around the exhaust. Mercedes is the only real offender here.
Stelvio looks fine to me, Mercedes is definitely worst
This! Why?!?!?!?!? And honestly, if this was only on “normal” cars, I wouldn’t mind. But on “super” cars? Argh!
I like how you put Mercedes and Audi in the same group as all the other companies. Since Mercedes and Audi are the only ones to ACTUALLY make fake tips while the rest just have a big tip on the end of smaller ones.
Audi wasn’t even faking exhaust tips because they arent there. TBH i like the clean look of the audi a8. Mercedes on the other hand are putting fake tips on an already atrocious car
