BMS Titanium style tips after a few months
How are they holding up? I know the black ones discolor do the titanium look ones as well? I'm hoping they become more subdued as they seem quite bright and boy racer out of the box. Post a pic if you have had these tips for some time and are happy or dissatisfied.

I got a set of the black ones and they too lose some color, but it's less noticeable. Don't buy them. There was someone trying to sell a set in the classifieds and you can clearly see the discoloration after a month.

I had the chrome ones for a year and the clips fell apart and the tips corroded so bad I took them off and swapped to their black chrome tips. I would clean them every week to remove exhaust soot too but nothing prevented the issues. Go with a pure stainless steel tip

My black BMS tips have taken on a carbony golden bronze color after 6 months of use. They look pretty racey on my MW M235, but I would really prefer they be the color I bought as. It's hilarious that their excuse is that the discoloration is because the tips get hot. Ummm....last time I checked, exhaust piping gets quite hot and the OEM black tips have no trouble handling the heat.
