Default Update: Installed new tips for my A5 SB

I added these as my 2nd mod. Welded in.

Had these on my A6 before and I think they will look even more performance on this smaller ride.

Stock at 3.75" tips. And the curved edges that blacken and stain very easily.

These are 4" with a large bevel that looks not oem but still not JDM. They really pop since more stainless AWE look then nickel.

It looks like an AWE kit now fills the valence perfect without JDM look and from the side has great detail and taper.

I really like that tip. The dual wall feature on it will prevent discoloring too compared to the OEM one.

I hated my A6, or all the audi tips, they blackened up within 1 month and never got clean. I had to hit it with a 3000 grit sandpaper or light emory pad but it still looks discolored and cheap and black again in 1 week.

These will be night and day for cleaning and appearance will pop. Its a lease so dont want to debadge but with black optics, red brakes and new rims in a week probaly look like psuedo S/RS looks lol.

Looks good. I will probably do the same, though with four tips.

I have same style tips in duals on my Trans Am but to cut the valence and out dual 4 would too much not to back up with some more HP.
They are pretty big.
