Akra tips CF vs Titanium for a VO?
I am having a hard time to decide to pick CF tips or Titanium tips. I have gloss black grills and gills at the moment and a diamond black coloured Ri-D rims.
Which one will look better? Does the titanium tips - brown out like the rest of the exhaust? Does the carbon fibre go yellow like someone claims? Has anyone got any pictures they can share? Many thanks for your opinions and help!

I pondered about this for all but 2 secs. Went with CF and never looked back. I think on the VO will look dynamite, and you don't have to worry about cleaning the soot that will be visible on Ti tips. Here is the thread of my install with plenty of pics (and dyno).

I have a vo and I went for titanium. The cf weave didn't match my diffuser or splitter. And I wasn't a big fan of the akrapovic plate on the tips. That being said however, I would have gotten the cf if my 1m was white.

I went with the Ti tips because I wanted separation between the black part of the bumper and the tips. If the bumper was all one piece and white, I def would have gone with the CF tips.

- I have changed it back to CF. Less elegant, but definitely more suited to the car with the gloss blacks.
