Sorry for late response. It’s a custom exhaust from a local shop. 3” straight pipe with a hotdog resonator to get rid of a little bit of drone.

All 4 tips are actually real and none of that 1” pipe between left and right sides business.

Anyone have any pics of this on their car painted???
I went gloss black on glacier silver, couldn't be any happier.

I am considering doing the same. I have glacier silver F32 with shadow line trim, MPPSK with carbon fiber tips. Was just considering keeping it matt black but I like your configuration. I think painting the ends may highlight the CF tips. Did you have your diffusor painted before or after install? Any suggestions on paint vs non-paint based on my configuration with CF tips?

What did you ultimately decide to do?
