I really can't answer the question since I've only had them on for 100 miles or so, although my assumption is Fabspeed has tested for this. However, the powder coat will chip so you have to careful when installing.

You should also know that the Fabspeed tips come with a secondary metal flange/clip (similar to the OEM tips) that fits inside the tip. I believe it is designed to make up the space between the diameter of OEM outlet pipe and the diameter of the Fabspeed tips. However, I had to remove the clip as it was impossible to install the tips with the clip in place (the clip kept sliding inside the tip and didn't allow me to align the tip properly). It didn't turn out to be a problem as I was able to tighten the bolt enough so there is no movement in the tips. I'm not sure if you will have this problem with the Cargraphic exhaust.

Thanks for the heads up re. installation. I will print it for the installer.

In this picture of your tip, is the paint peeling on the inside or it's some sort of shadow artifact?

Hey Eric,

The car looks great! Thanks for the pics, we'll get them up in our website gallery ASAP.

For those who don't know, Eric has been a Wheel Experts customer since 2001. Back then, when we were a new fledgling company, he gave us a chance with his 2001 CLK55 cab and thankfully he's been our customer ever since. Thanks for believing in us all these years

P43's

Love those rims I opted for the 19's because in previous cars when I changed the wheel size ruined my ride glad yours got better also went for gloss black since it matched my car color. My stock tires were Pirelli Nero's not Bridgestone I like the ride and performance feel of these tires and always have had good luck with HRE.

Wow I thought I had my mind set on the Champion wheels, but I rethinking that because the HRE P43 look great on your car. I'm sure I'll be calling Peter at Wheelexperts soon.
