unless u never drive your F or drive it under 50 mph ..... the cf tips are great but not practical. powdercoating or plastidip is the way to go

Hey OP I'm guessing you didn't have to remove any part of the exhaust to change the tips since you've deleted the mufflers correct?

I feel your pain, I had planned on getting the cf tips as well but soon realised they were discontinued.

Instead I bought a spare set of tips and I'm getting them powder coated gloss black. Hope they look as good and don't deteriorate after some abuse.

I have no mufflers either and the straight pipe points at the lower oval on the tips. Worse case scenario, I can always take it off and redo them if need be, but so far, so good!
do you have spacers in these pics?

I didn't remove the tips to plasti dip them. Just taped and sprayed. Very simple and still looks like the day I did it.
