I actually found high temp paint just incase!

 

Post details of that paint would you please.....

To my mind you need the high temp paint. Those tips get quite hot.

Hey Colin

I have used this brand many times with good results.
For auto and non-auto use in my experiences.
But I never used this flat black finish on exhaust tips.



They also sell many other brands that are more specific for auto use and high heat.

For painting these Exhaust Tips / Diffusers via DIY, you may want to consider a black high heat paint with a semi gloss or satin finish.
Aesthetically, flat black might be more prone to water marks or stains after a while.

Thanks for the tips, Joe......I'm heading out tomorrow to get an O2 sensor removal tool -- I'll pick up some high heat semi gloss while I'm there......

BTW, My exhaust is in Windsor right now and scheduled to arrive at my front door on Wednesday.....

Cheers,
Colin

 

.

did you put on your exhaust?

 

Wow.

This tip is so lame. I could make this in college.

Drawn, stamped and cut.

 

What would you expect, machined from billet? I'm not at all surprised. I'd bet you'll find the same thing on The Veyron, any modern Lambo, the Audi R8, and the Ferrari California.

 

I wish.....but no install until the car is back on the road in March. The weather here is aweful so she's off the road for the winter......

I'm getting everything together tho ready for the install.

Colin.

 

Umm...no.

 

do you do your own installs?

 

Just for kicks!!! (sorry no inside shots of Tips for these cars)

Bugatti



Lambo


Audi R8


Ferrari California

 

Some of those tips look very familiar to the IS from the outside.

 

Umm...no. What? Not billet? Not on the other cars? Umm...didn't we just see pics showing the same execution on 6 and 7 figure cars?

 

Oh...no...bugger.

 

My sales rep went on a trip that Lexus Canada hosted for the education of the ISF for all the Ontario sales reps (like a workshop). They learned all the little details of the vehicle (that way prepping them for any kind of questions that would arise from an ignorant to a well educated customer interested in a high end sports car). He loaned me a book that he was given, with all this information of why they designed certain things a specific way. One of the highlights was the quad exaust is done in that way (the exaust tips aren't actually attatched to the quad ends) to help reduce "back pressure".
