2009 Fit Sport. Im trying my best to keep my exterior murdered out but I cant seem to find any catbacks with black tips. Would I be able to somehow MAKE a steel or titanium tip black after I purchase the exhaust? Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Making the tip black would be super easy.
Two choices:
1) Black ceramic coat. Expensive (relatively) and can't fo it at home, but very durable.
2) Black grill paint. It will take temps up to 2000 degrees, and your tip won't be near that hot unless you are melting your engine. Cheap, can be durable, but takes good prep work to make it right. Will only be matt finish.

I've seen people paint their shiny new exhaust system flat black before on another board. They ended up getting rock chips and scrapes all over it, and looked like ass. I've never seen a black-tipped, or all black import exhaust. You can find a muffler in this style though, and that is what I'd recommend bolting onto your stock piping.

 

Thanks for the feedback guys. I am waiting for my GReddy catback to arrive this week and you guys have helped me decide to keep it as is. That titanium tip has grown on me anyway lol.

i always wanted this.

 

VHT Paint, great suggestion, looking into it! Thanks!

gwai-lo, that is a nice muffler. Although I wonder what the color of the actual product would be. The description says matte black but the pic looks like a charcoal gray. I am really surprised i didnt find this earlier. I searched like a mofo for black exhausts. Thanks anyway. Ever see Big Trouble In Little China? Thats where I learned what gwai lo meant haha.

Any good muffler shop can weld up an axle back pipe and muffler you can use VHT on... VHT sticks surprisingly well to stainless steel and Chrome plating when you accidentally get some on it, but not so well when you want it to stick.. It sticks very well to well prepped naked steel.

 

Thanks for the 411, Tex.
