exhaust tip change

my tip was rusting out(resonated tip on a flowmaster 40 series) and wanted to change it out with something that wouldnt rust, so........

bought this one thinking it was different and looked cool, sort of. supposed to be "white carbon fiber". anyways, welded it up and YUCK! if it were the darker CF, maybe, but this was too bright and just looked like plastic. nasty.


so i went shopping again and as luck would have it, i found another resonated tip, but this was stainless all the way, so no more rust problems.


what do you think? ricey?

i'm not a big fan of single tip exhaust on the 5th gens. i think that ours look better with two tips and the 4rth gens look great with just one. but i will say the second tip looks better than the first. yuck

not a fan of single tips either seems like going backwards from what you started with, but it doesn't look bad.

the "white carbon" is real....

I think it looks nice, but you made it stick out to much, if it was in a bit further, i'd look better.

i like the look of the second one, wasnt really liking the first one. it seemed good by itself but not on the car. maybe on a diff color ca rit would look better.
