Any Suggestions for Exhaust Tips?
Hi all!
I just got a 2013 BRZ and I'd like to put larger exhaust tips on since the 2013's are so small. Ideally I'd like some burnt ones to match my world rally blue exterior. But I'm also open to matte black. Does anyone have suggestions or links to good ones? I'd like them not to stick out too far either. I found these, but I think the inlet is too big right? Has anyone purchased the ARK performance ones before? Thanks!!! |

You can buy any exhaust tip and burn them yourself with a blowtorch, or even over the kitchen stove.
See my burnt JDM tips below. One of a kind

^ ARK is a reputable brand in the automotive community and makes some great sound exhausts. They also in the above link sell some titanium exhaust tips in different sizes.

Go to A&A auto and pick up a set of DC sports tips. 3.5" stainless that clamp on, give a nicer look and are $45 for a set as opposed to $100+ for the stock tips. If you want matte black you can use BBQ paint.

Does anyone know what size inlet I should be looking for? Does it matter with clamp ons? I read somewhere that the 2.25" inlet was a little big, so Im thinking that 2.5" would definitely be a little loose, no? (sorry if this is a n00b question) |

If you are going to burn them then get the cheap DC Sport tips from Advance Auto with coupons. If you fuck 'em up you won't be out that much. I went with the 2015 OEMs because I didn't like how much the DC Sport tips stuck out.
Here's some info: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...62&postcount=1 |

If you do decide not to take my advise with the ARK exhaust tips, there is a thread on the 350z forums where he made the burnt tip look by using CocaCola

Yeah, I did have to modify the tips a bit to make them fit back further into the bumper.

I just got some pre-owned "JDM" tips and love the way they look.
No matter what option you go with, anything is better than the stock 2013-14 tips. |
