Lightbulb Dry Carbon Exhaust Tips

New guy here...

I'm starting to slowly mod the F (KW V3 on order) and was eyeing a set of the CF exhaust tips Joe Z put out a while back however in afraid that they were discontinued. I'm still looking for a set ...any ideas on where I can get one?

thanks all

Geez, this reminds me that I have a new set in my garage that I never got around to installing. :P

No clue who still has them in stock.

I read from another poster on this forum that they were discontinued because they melted.

Sort of correct...

ONLY during repetitive HIGH HEAT racing conditions and mostly on the cars with aftermarket headers..


Too many variables to control, so we opted to stop production..

Solution is....cut off your mufflers and weld on a 90 degree bend to face the ground...problem solved.

I would just put a disclaimer and warning in the package with the tips and just sell them. So many people still want it.

^^^^THIS!!!!

There are so many people who would buy those in a heartbeat if you still made them, me included. How about doing a "group buy" type of thing where if you get enough people to commit to buying (and pay upfront) then you do a small production run for those people? And of course include the disclaimer that they are should be removed at the track or whenever else they are going to be exposed to extreme conditions, and that they will not be covered under warranty if they melt.

OK... I will sit down with PTS this week and go over the possibilty of another run of these...

** With the EXCESSIVE High Heat Disclaimer...

They are basically good for normal daily driving and shows.. (with oem manifolds in place )
