Default Can I fit these exhaust tips on my 2003 C4S?

Greetings - I bought these a few months ago, they apparently came off a Carrera 4 of similar vintage to my C4S. I am trying to figure out if they will work with my car - but their shape and design (on the parts that attach) seem all wrong.

According to my dealer's P.E.T. system, these tips are indeed for a C4 or GT2 (they are number 3 in the parts diagram, even though number 4 is highlighted). Anyone have any insight on these?

Have you tried to fit them to see if they work?

FWIW, the aftermarket tips on my C4S look like the tips shown in diagram #4.

Hi - I've got exactly the same ones, and they do look good - they're just a little short.

No, these will not work on your car because they are off of a C2/C4 exhaust. These were affixed to the tubes but they were pulled off. Look at the holes at the edge of the tips, you can see where the ends were cut/plied off.

Where did you buy these just out of curiosity? Was it from a salvage yard? I had a pair just like this that I detached from the tubes that connect to the exhaust, and I ended up throwing the tips away. I had to cut the ends of the tips because there was a bolt that prevented them from sliding off. I swear to god those look EXACTLY like the tips I threw away, damage and all. How funny would that be lol
