I got hit in the parking lot the other day and it smashed up the chrome tailpipe extension. Has anyone changed one of these and, if so, can you confirm this is the correct part? https://parts.vw.com/p/Volkswagen_2018_Atlas/Exhaust-Tail-Pipe-Tip/71594970/3CN8078342ZZ.html

How do you do it? Do you have to remove the whole bumper? just the lower valence? or nothing at all?

Thanks in advance!!

I replaced my lower valence when I installed a 5000 lb factory hitch on mine, the new valance does not come with the tailpipe extensions so I had to remove them from the old valance and install them in the new one, it was a nightmare. In my case I was not using the original valance so I did not care if I tore the valance up getting them out which I did after trying to detach them. It is very hard to get them snapped back in right but they do snap in place.

Exhaust pipe doesn't connect to tail pipe extensions

I've got a 2019 Atlas SE, V6. My exhaust pipes do not connect to the chrome exhaust extensions. Went to the VW dealer and checked a couple of others and nope, they don't. The chrome extensions are just for looks. It does keep them cleaner.

I hate that they made fake tailpipes. It is so tacky. I wish they just made them actual, functional exhaust tips.
