Poll: need help with my exhaust

alright guys ,
i just took delivery of my Revinora Race exhaust for my e92 today, and i've been stumped on what to do with the exhaust. Im thinking about ceramic coating them,but the welds are so clean and i love how it looks, but i also do like the whole fact of ceramic coating them. another idea that came to mind was to have the tips painted gloss black,but i dont know how long that will last for. so guys i need your help!!!!

I say leave it as is, it'll burnish nicely with heat and even the best coatings can eventually get chipped, scratched, and so on. Plus these mufflers seem like they're nearly invisible from under the car and I don't really like the look of black tips which is all you'd see

definitely leave it. I'm not a big fan of black tips - just makes them stand out less or look too aftermarket for those that look closely.

Glad to see you got yours as well Crush. I personally love the raw look on mine. The tips are 3.5 inches and cut so beautifully. I wont be touching mine for a while at least. Ill wait to see how yours come out haha
