Colour on Akra Titanuim tips
I have recently bought an Akra exhaust from my mate. The colour of the titanium tips seem discolored to me. The pics from the Akra website show the titanium as brighter. My tips look like the 2nd pic below.
Is there any way to get them looking like the 1st pic? Thanks in advance.. |

Every akra I've seen in person with Ti tips looks like your second picture. Slight bronze or gold hue and less silver. First pic is probably a studio shot for the brochure or website, enhanced.

The top pic is a brand new set. As you drive it they bronze over time from heat.

I was aware of the "bronzing" and the requirement of regular cleaning (to keep the tips clean from dirt). It was another reason for me to get the CF black tips - the lazy option.
