poll: which exhaust tips should i go with?

alright guys so i'd like some input cause i value everyone's opinion but which exhaust should i go with considering my car's Jet Black with DTM Carbon fiber diffuser. kinda leaning towards the all black but i always like the burnt tips too! some people think that the all black would end up getting lost with all the black already but i like that too!

so my rear end pretty much looks like this:


Here's the 4" Black tips:


4" Burnt tips:


4" Polished tips:

This is what I'm debating on.
DGM with 3D CF diffuser and M5 mufflers.
The tips on the mufflers are chrome right now, and they will be installed
next tuesday.
I have striked out the CF tips for the same reason that you've mentioned (being lost
in the CF diffuser) and leaning towards the black ones.
Maybe I'll try the chrome, and see how I like it though...
I'd not do the polished if I were you, but it's a hard choice between the burnt and the black.

Where would you find black or burnt 4" tips?

I've been searching but haven't found any.

Burnt or black would look great for sure.

I believe he's looking at M5/M6 Megan setups which comes with 4" tips.

My $0.02....polished or black. I just think they look better on high end cars. Burnt tips remind me of WRX's or 350Z's.

I would go burnt, black tips would blend in and disappear in the diffuser.
Here's a pic of mine and since we have the same diffuser this is what it will look like except I purposely didn't have my tips installed staggered.

Bro...the Megan Supremo's for the M5 comes with 4" quad tips. If I've known this last year I would've had it done already. But they have 3 different kinds so choosing which one I thought would be really interesting to see how many people thought?

Since I saw this on Teddy's the first time he posted this picture on his "introducing thread" is one of the reasons I thought of going burnt tips. It looks really good! But I'm still on the fence with black tips

Agreed. And I didn't mean to come off the wrong way. Some people take these forums way too serious (not saying you do) and I was just trying to inject some comic relief. But I do think that is a terrible idea.

I agree I was only testing LS's taste, I wanted to see what he thought first. It's all good man.
