Update...

Here is the tip after 17 days of beatings. I have put a little over 5k on it so far. It's holding up great..

If you need someone more to do some testing on one, let me know. I need to get a new one because the MBRP I have on there now is rock chipped and rusting, looks like crap.

Not trying to bust your ***** or anything, but I would hope any tip would stand up to 17 days...

maybe wash it and see how the finish is holding up...

It was more of a picture to show exactly how much of a beating we are giving it.

How many exhaust tips are out there that are chrome? It was an example of use...

I'll get a pic later today for everyone.

If it survives 17 days with the abuse Andrew puts it through, I have no doubt it will hold up. Let's just say i'm very hopeful.

I had a 5 inch system. So mine was pretty loud all the time. With the 6inch tip it reduced drone in-cab, but made it louder when I get on it.

I am happy with the drop in in-cab noise for sure.

That was always my plan as well. I am not huge on chrome, but black chrome is pretty sexy.
