Default Powdercoated exhaust pipes?











Thoughts and/or comments? It might be a lot easier for me to get my exhaust powder coated than to polish it. Might go with like a bright silver or something cooler like blue and leave the tips not touched. I think I like it...a lot less maintenance. Let me know guys! Reason I'm thinking about this is that now with the IRS in you see the tailpipes a lot more than you did with the SRA. That reminds me...I gotta get pics up with the IRS installed. lol I'll get some and make another thread then. But for now...thoughts on the powder coated exhaust please!!!

Iv thought about it for mine due to the macs not being SS(mine n e ways). The only bad thing is it would look dirty all the time unless you got em gloss black.

My uncles cobra has a powdercoat or painted finish on his exhaust and it looks good in flat black. He has never touched the exhaust to clean it. I have thought about getting mine coated but I can have them polished out for 50 dollars so I think I am going that route.

What would you guys think of dark blue powder coat with polished tips? I think that might be a bit much. Maybe a gloss black with polished tips? let me know what you think....

Gloss black is what I would do. Im thinking about getting my gas tank done in PR, with gloss black PC tail pipes once my car is not on DD duty n e more.

I want to polish my tailpipes but I feel like a lot of people have that and you all know how I like to be different. Lol would like a black chrome finish look sweet without anything else that is like black chrome or anything close to it? Or maybe like dag color?

I think with the reflection of the black chrome off the shadow underneath the car would look sick, and u wouldn't have to clean it as much as chrome since its darker.

Idk if it would look weird without anything else matching it tho

I dont think dark blue would look good... Flat black would look nice. I have never seen gloss black before, but i bet it would look pretty cool!
