What's up with this exhaust??
 

So I see this exhaust style a lot lately with the blue colored tips. I know nearly nothing about cars..is this supposed to be showing that the air coming out is so hot that the tips got discolored by heat or something?

No, that's what happens when you heat up titanium with a torch, or anodize it with electricity. The tips are anodized in this case for the Invidia N1, not burnt with a torch. Invidia will tell you not to use a torch on their tips since it's chemically done.

"Just the tip" is titanium, the rest of the exhaust is SS.

I see, thanks!

..so is it rice? :popcorn:

It's whatever you want it to be.

It's a race-inspired cosmetic enhancement, so yes. However, it looks pretty nice against the right car colors.

ahh i'm just jelly that I haven't seen any red exhaust tips :( ...i see the beautiful blue cars and their invidias and I'm wishing there was something red for us firestorm fellas.

To replicate titanum exhausts. They change color through oxidation - constant use in the case of cars.

Titanium exhausts are the unobtainium of exhaust parts. The most expensive exhausts tend to be titanium. Hence why we replicate it with cheaper exhaust parts, to give that expensive "cool" look.

Tomei is all titanium, right? That would be cool if they weren't loud as hell.

But then how would people know you're about that racecar life?

This is true. I thought my brand whore decals and vinyl graphics would be enough, but maybe not.

Now that is undeniably rice!
