$6 Exhaust Mod.

I just got my S muffler today from one of our members. I was talking with cnavarro last night and we were looking at a techart muffler. It had flat black tips. SO.... I was thinking it would look nice if the whole damn thing was flat black.. It is reversable if you want it back to stock with some paint remover. So high temp flat black it is now..

I too am a fan of the black muffler and tips - I powdercoated my oval ('03) tips and spray painted my muffler with flat black ceramic. I liked it so much I used the rest of the can on our Jeep Patriot's muffler.

I wouldn't do it with your tips. I think it would look as though there was no opening in black, plus you would not see all the smaller holes around the tip which makes it cool.

The chrome look with the holes carry the theme of your new wheels with the ring of bolts. Your car is fine the way it is and looks a tad different in a good way. Just MHO of course, you do what you want...
