I have the hks carbon ti and it has a burnt tip I love that exhaust. You should be more worried about the sound and how loud. But it's all preference.

Honestly its your opinion people love and hate it. I love it but others may not agree. If you like it get it if not then just get the regular version. btw how much more is it?

yeah, I have a Trust PE Ti-R and I loved my "burnt" tip till I took it off to put on a new oxide coating on. I almost prefer it like this, much more subtle and classier looking. Get a Ti-C or Carbon Ti if you want a cheap "burnt" tip you can always clear out to make shiny again.

Wait, how much is the whole exhaust?

$20 bucks isn't a lot, I'd say just get the tip w/ the "burnt" look and if you don't like it, take it off w/ metal polish.

I personally love it, but it does nothing for trying to "fly under the radar" for LEOs

It does look cool but cops LOVE that TI tip
Yes just the tip. Usually is pretty loud too on top.
Painted mine black cops never ask me a word about it
