carbon fiber or titanium exhaust tips
I have the GTHAUS on my car and in the process of changing the exhaust tips for aesthetic looks obviously. I am trying to decide between the carbon fiber finish or Titanium, and if i will get the titanium finish would be something similar to the amuse setup ( fully burnt tips) want to know your inputs on this.

Ti for the win!!
i have mesti Ti exhaust but the blue color is very faint on the tips.
Wish it was crazy blue like the amuse ones.

Ti - Blue
Another vote for Titanium. I was also going to select Carbon Fiber on my Armytrix, but after awhile the cool CF Look will either fade or become more Blackish over time due to the exhaust fumes. Was even told that the Blued Look eventually fades, but according to Armytrix they've had great luck w them staying Blue. (Hell, tell me something that does NOT fade over the years. Nothing beats that awesome Burnt Tip look on ANY exhaust - in the Motorcycle Community it was a Badge of Honor too!!

The mesti tips are not super blue like the amuse or armytrix.
Not sure if it’s the temp that they heat the Ti to or the quality/density of the Ti.
Heard of another cl member who heated it up more himself to get more blue.
I heated up my Ti lug nuts from Rays and they didn’t turn very blue neither.
Would assume those are of high quality Ti
so I’m guessing it’s the temperature, or that the other bluer tips are “enhanced” with color and not just the natural Ti color.
Just speculating...
