Default Black tip...

Has anyone ever seen a black exhaust tip? Or a dual black tip?
Guy at muffler shop in town sold me black tips are not very common, and that most of them start to chip quickly.

I have never seen them.... I'm sure you could do it yourself pretty easily with some high temp black rustoleum but there is enough rocks flying at it from the road that I'm sure it'd do some chiping...

I might buy the tip i saw at O'Reily's. Its only a few bucks, worth to see how long it last. Better then spending big bucks on something i dont really want.
My tip now looks kinda cool. Its chrome, or fake-chrome, and it has a black line on just the bottom part from the fumes. Looks like it was painted on there. Thats wat gave me the idea of having a whole black tip!

I ended up buying the darn black tip...
When i get home...i "try" to unscrew the current tip...
For hours out in the sun and...for my little sister to walk outside, look for 5 seconds, and tell me tht the tip is welded onto the muffler.
And she is very right. Instead of a clamp, they used sumtin else, looks nice, but now i cant get my black tip.

Is it smart to grind the welded part off? It could leave a hole in the muffler. Would tht cause any problems?
Im not even tht excited about it anymore...still think it would look sweet!

I wish magnaflow had a dual black exhaust.

The exhaust already has a hole from the current tip. And if i take it out and put the black tip in, there should be no hole, i hope.

and i would think it may cause it to rust sooner...or at least degrade...
