2. How do exhaust tips mount to my vehicle?

Exhaust tips mount two ways: clamp-on or weld-on. The clamp-on method is the fastest and easiest, and it's best for the do-it-yourselfer. Weld-on types are the most secure when properly installed, but may require professional installation. This is an important decision to make when choosing your exhaust tips.

3. Will my exhaust tips discolor?

Exhaust tip color?Due to the extreme heat of your exhaust system, exhaust tips are subjected to wild temperature fluctuations. This constant heating and cooling, and the added strain of being under your vehicle where it gets wet, can cause discoloration. Luckily, the finish can often be polished and brought back to like-new glory, especially stainless steel exhaust tips.

4. Do my new exhaust tips carry a warranty?

Yes, all of our exhaust tips come with a manufacturer's warranty. The warranties range from 1 to 5 years, and some brands even offer lifetime and 1,000,000-mile guarantees. Please see the product description for the individual information on the type of warranty. The manufacturer's warranty is a great way to determine how long the product should last. Generally, longer-lasting products carry longer warranties.
