My 13 FRS has a system with burnt tips. Looks good. It’s my sons car, and he night the system for the car.

Those seem way bigger than anything I'd put on the stock exhaust, might be hard to find.

I think my HKS pipes had 4 inch. I don't think you could get much bigger

Yea 4.5 seems too far honestly, might need to do it custom?

Probably. And then it'll rub on the bumper cover

Why? Many exhust have them bigger... HKS Legamax Premium I.E.
What size do you suggest for stock?

Those are welded on to pipe though, the stock ones are bolted on and you have to be careful of positioning at 4.5 inches or higher on a stock muffler location....

I've always thought my titanium catback and mid pipe was a tasteful, high end mod until very recently seeing these goofy ultra-riced out cars everywhere in my area with titanium tips.

I'm not certain most folks are even aware that there is a difference between the two and/or what the purpose of a titanium exhaust even is....

Sasquachulator · 08-21-2018, 02:07 PM

don't think its very ricey. Its not something that sticks out horribly like a sore thumb.

I'd say enormous exhaust tips are ricey looking, since they always look like a cannon that just doesn't exactly fit.
I'd definitely notice that more than I would burnt exhaust tips.

Single exit too (dunno about rice, but I think it looks stupid) mainly cuz theres 2 exhaust cutouts and it looks weird and uneven without the second exhaust tip there.

Voted Rice, unless its a full Ti cat back.

Couldn't agree more; people buy this catback thinking it is full titanium...they would need to pay $2k+ for full ti! Looks terrible!

^^That (my) catback is full Titanium. It's the Amuse Titan. And yeah, was $3,600 + $230 shipping from Japan. Don't think it looks terrible; almost looks like a piece of jewelry in person, honestly.

But your post raises my point - do folks now look at a custom fabricated Amuse exhaust as cheesy rice nowadays? Sigh.

Not those that know the difference.

What I would say is cheesy rice would be a stock exhaust with $10, Ebay, fake burnet, bolt on tips.

If anybody can't tell the difference then screw 'em.

I bought my HKS Hi-Power Spec-L for its light weight and quality. I was also concerned about the Ti tips looking rice as others here when I bought it. I had planned to spray paint the tips black if it annoyed me. But now that I installed it and have been driving with it, I can't really say I care enough to spray paint the tips. The catback is good, that is what matters to me.
