No promises guys...!!!
Aftermarket Headers + Exhaust = Much higher heated exhaust levels..
Example the tips on my F have been on for over 2 years.. Stock manifolds plus aftermarket exhaust + normal driving..
They still look OK but have taken on a bit of a burned in look ..
It really looks great for a show piece and normal daily driving ONLY..

What is people's obsession with the "burnt titanium" look? I think it looks hideous on any car, and it's certainly not something that belongs on a $65K luxury sports sedan, IMHO.

I agree with above, and what's with putting fake tips onto fake tips these days? They melt bc the r made out off fake plastic made to look like carbon fiber, why would anyone want to put these on their car? It's a waste of money if u ask me I'm sure if I had them on my car here during summer in tx they would just melt off sitting in the parking lot at work lol!!! But your ride your money.

1) The OEM tips are actually exhaust collectors / diffusers..
2) The Dry Carbon Sleeves we developed are 100% true carbon fiber molded pieces..
However, we do appreciate your input..!!

No disrespect ment on my part, the only point I was making was that both tips stock and the carbon fiber covers were not part of the real exhaust system, they are both for looks not function. I like the idea of a full carbon fiber set up but thats in our dreams. The stock tips that r not even connected to our exhaust system Are fake either way u look at it, they look cool but have no purpose in my opinion. So sticking carbon tips on fake tips is not my style but to each their own it's your car and u do with it as u please. Just seems like a waste of money to put them on if they are none to melt if u decide to drive your car hard? I thought the idea of upgrading your car was for better performance not for (hay these tips look cool but don't drive your car hard b/c if u do these tips will melt! Just my 2 cents, if u want them than get them it's your ride just be sure u know what u r getting and u have a chance to ruin your new investment and stock tips by melting the epoxy used with the carbon fiber to form the cf.
