I like how the titanium tips look as is

Never saw an Akra with other tips

You seem to be wanting something bigger in diameter?

I agree, looks even better once the inners turn purple and blue. Looks so cool!

I'm just curious does the Akra tips rust at all? Also once they turn color I assume there is no way to bring them back to the goldish color?

I'm not sure i dig the bluish color because it almost looks like they are dirty from a distance lol

I think the blue eventually turns a more brown color as the exhaust continues to heat cycle. Temp has a lot to do with it as well. The titanium exhaust on my bike started out blue and eventually turned brownish with small remnants of blue

Are they cleaned properly?

Mine are gold with the blue and purple hue inside.

Car is dirty here and the sunlight made everything orange, but you can kind of see here

You're right goldish is a better explanation of the color or maybe a brassy color? I think you can polish it out and heat cycle to make it turn blue again but I haven't tried. BTW your car is not dirty!

The lighting hides the dirt haha it's pretty dirty. I need a proper detail soon.

Brassy is a good word to describe it! Looks cool

I have never seen an Akra Ti tip turn blue on the outside

Just the inside

Anybody here who knows the dimensions of the original Akrapovic tips?

I will install a Akrapovic Slip-On and wanted to install normal tips. Not carbon.

Inlet is 60mm right?
What is the total length of the tips?
