Still not sure I'll like the super shiny look on my car - I'm more of an old-school, satin black pipe guy. But, I have to say that these things sure are pretty. They were also packed incredibly well.

Actually bolted to a wood divider in the heavy cardboard box....

Awesome welds and cone-type collectors.....

They Will Look Great!

Don't pitch the old pipes.
Cut off the rusted muffler and put a 16-20" long turned out collector on them.
They'll Sound Great At The Dragstrip Or Auto Cross Pad!

Wow those look great. I wasn't pleased to see the discoloration on my pipes where they turn from under the body cutout.

I have them and they are great. The sound is so much better than the FF ones with no "bark", just a deep rumble.

Those sure are pretty! I built stainless pipes myself and went matte black myself!

Yeah, I hear 'ya. Just got back from a nice long after-work drive and contemplated this... I'm leaning towards having them ceramic coated - I just really like the satin black look of the pipes on there now and I can't help thinking these are too "blingy" for my modest self.

I have a set of Gas-n's mated to Stainless Headers on my 2012 Coyote. The entire exhaust system is a thing of beauty. It's unfortunate the headers are not easy to see in the engine bay. I can still remember watching the sidepipes turn a golden hue on a dyno run at 7,000 revs. I thought it was the coolest thing until the following winter went it it took 2 days of polishing to get them back to shiny stainless.
