Exhaust tips - brushed or matt black
I dont have photos of my car with the tips, but would you prefer brushed metal tips or matt black tips?
Im Melbourne Red with MP diffuser, unpainted.   |

Black chrome is pretty good too because the tips don't disappear in the shadows like the do with matte tips.
Here are my black chrome BMS tips on my MPE exhaust.

Depends on your personal taste. Personally, I prefer silver'ish tips that aren't bling chrome, i.e. titanium. I brushed some generic OEM chrome tips to a satin finish for my MPE. I like the results enough, gives a little contrast in the back without having that shiny chrome look. The stock black chrome tips were just too stealthy for me.

Personally, I like brushed stainless tips. These are 90mm tips on an Active Autowerks axle-back - not the best pictures when talking about tailpipes! They have the option of 100mm tips but I don't know how they would fit. Maybe some aftermarket diffusers have bigger cutouts?
