Default Spray the new ones w/brake cleaner>>>

After install...then..don't touch and they will keep that "as new" look..just from my experience!

Default that's pretty depressing, as good as they look new.

Another reason i like the rolled edge Borla oval tips, which are stainless inside and out.
Are you going to have to have the old ones cut and new ones welded on?

be careful, the dimpled part of the tip is aluminum, not SS.

Default yeah... it is depressing...

I don't think they are welded on...

The tips are riveted on. The fact that Neuspeed is sending me a pair of new tips suggest that the tips should be easily removed... I hope...

If not, I want refund... I learned my lesson... I want ALL STAINLESS!!! =(
