Silver vs black chrome tips?

Thunder43 · 07-04-2015, 01:15 PM

Thoughts on a Black Sapphire M5?
Thinking of upgrading stock exhaust to 90mm tips, but unsure of color...
Like Black chrome but concerned they may get lost in diffuser.
Thanks in advance.

Of course I may just say eff it and get an Eisenmann...

Just ordered the cyba silver tips for my dads BSM last night. I'll post up pics in here if you'd like once I install them so you can see what it looks like

Thanks.
Attached a pic I took of stock exhaust while polishing. Left is obviously done, the right is pre-polish --sporting the 'natural carbon' look. Figure it is a rough representation of both looks.
Exhaust is stock -- with valves open.

Love my setup. Looks and sound. Video says 102mm tips but they are 90mm.

What solvent / cleaning fluid do you use on your exhaust tips? I haven't found anything that works well yet - the carbon is a PITA to remove!

I used WD40 with 0000 wool for baked on carbon.
For maintenance, a soft cloth with some WD40 works well. Recommend wiping them down regularly. I do this weekly along with my wheels (no solvent on wheels, just wipe down) to avoid build up.
Hope this helps.

Thanks - I'll give that a try.

I thought about black tips and carbon fiber tips and felt the same way about it getting lost with a carbon fiber diffuser? So I'm guessing polished?

Well tips came today and I threw them on for him. It was late when I did it so sorry the pics are shitty. Tomorrow i'll try to grab a daytime pic of the new tips. In the first pic left is done right is still stock and second pic both sides are done.

Edit: here's a pic in better lighting of the new tips
