Carbon Fiber Exhaust Tips for the Mustang S351
The Mustang S351 is part of the impressive line of models modified by Saleen, Incorporated, which specialize in providing ultra high-performance Mustangs for the general public. The modifications are a response to the huge number of performance cars coming from Europe and Asia, and enable the pony cars to run with the very best in the world.
Carbon Fiber Exhaust Tips
Besides the usual engine and suspension tuning, carbon fiber exhaust tips will not only make your S351 Mustang look cool, but also will keep your exhausts looking good even after many miles of spirited driving. Exhaust tips are meant only for show and will very rarely affect or improve engine performance. Carbon fiber exhaust tips might be considered expensive compared to chrome or stainless steel tips, but the use of carbon fiber ensures that the tip will never discolor or stain due to high temperatures and exhaust gas corrosion.
Kinds of Muffler Tips
There are a variety of muffler tips available for your S351 Mustang. The usual choice is chrome and provides beauty and luster to your setup. Chrome is both weather- and rust-resistant, and will last many years, provided that a modicum of care is applied to the material.
Stainless steel is also corrosion resistant and provides the same amount of visual impact as chrome. The difference is in the shine, as chrome is more sparkly compared to stainless steel.
Titanium exhaust tips are more expensive compared to stainless steel and chrome, but are extremely light and develop an attractive hue to their finish when used over time.
Carbon fiber exhaust tips are also expensive, but require almost zero maintenance.
Installing Carbon Fiber Exhaust Tips
The installation process will vary according to the type of carbon fiber exhaust tip that you purchase. There are designs that will need to be welded onto the muffler pipe itself, while others will come with a pipe clamp or screw-tight attachment. Follow the instructions as stated on the packaging of your exhaust tip.
Conclusion
There are a lot of exhaust tip designs that you can choose from. If you happen to have carbon fiber body panels installed on your Mustang S351, then carbon fiber exhaust tips will complete the overall look of your car. Remember that installing an expensive exhaust tip comes with added responsibilities. Never park your car in a dimly lit area because thieves will likely steal your precious titanium or carbon fiber exhaust tip.
