Black Exhaust Tip Ideas?

Troy172416 · 01-09-2016, 07:16 PM

Has anyone found black exhaust tips for the 16 x5m? Considering using Flameproof engine block paint, wondering if anyone has tried it or has other ideas?

Troy172416 , we on the F15 side has been using High Temp paint idea.
Here is the example of the job that I have done recently.

I am a little afraid to ask this, but do you remove the exhaust to do this? Or carefully tape off the truck and paint while installed?

It looks great!

Well, some does it with the bumper on, some with the bumper removed (which I recommended). But, if you can just remove the tip, then remove the tip. I know that you can't remove the muffler other than chopping it off.
In my case, it was a tip replacement from regular round to a square type which normally comes in X-Line xDrive50i. So it was painted before it was installed.

I went to a local muffler shop and the guy ordered me matte black tips. He charged me $300 installed. I actually might be taking mine off next week as I'm most likely getting the AC Schnitzer exhaust with the black tips.
