Exhaust tip upgrade

:
2019 CX 5 Signature
Swapped out the undersized exhaust tips on my CX5 Signature. Went with 3.5 inch carbon fiber wrapped tips. 2 inch inlet with a clamp. I cut off the stock tips right at the spot where they meet the inlet pipe and the new tips were still not long enough to end where I wanted them. They are about 6.5 or so inches long and didn't reach the edge of the bumper cover which was the goal. I had a welding shop/ custom exhaust place weld on a short 2" pipe extension and then clamped the tips on to that. PERFECT!! (IMO) $40 for half hour labor charge. No brainer. Trying to upload a picture.

That is one sweet looking mod! Before I looked at the pics, I read "carbon fiber" and immediately mentally groaned, expecting to see some ridiculously over the top set of tips, but those are nice and I really like the way the dark color works with the lower bumper cover.
 
Yeah wanted to keep it kinda subtle. Stayed away from the glossy carbon fiber and went with the matte.
