Opti-Coat Carbon Fiber Exhaust tips?

[WRAPT C5Z06]

I'm getting these exhaust tips with the Akrapovic exhaust. What would be my best option for protection?

Hi Mark...

Cool Tips!!!
(Are they for your ZO6?)

Besides taking care of the outer layer(s) of the Carbon Fiber, what is the material for the core (inside) of these tips...SS, Titanium.

May just have to find a metal polish that's compatible with your choice of a carbon-fiber protection product...

Shouldn't be that difficult. What does the manufacturer recommend? Maybe go from there...What do you think?

{There's also the "mounting-hardware" to consider}

Those are badasss. I don't see why OptiCoat wouldn't work? Definitely want something on them so you wont have to clean them aggressively.

It will work great, it is very heat tolerant too!

Hi Chris:

In your opinion:
Will a "metal polish or metal cleaner" (for upkeep/care of the inside of these tips) cause any deterioration, as it were, upon the Opti-Coated fiber-carbon exterior areas of these tips...That is, if one would Opti-Coat the CC'd, I presume, carbon-fiber surfaces of these tips?

Looks like it would be a rather tedious chore to keep them (metal care products...being somewhat abrasive, IMO) completely from ever touching the Opti-Coated surfaces.

Either that, or allow these tips metal core's "heated color" to be prevalent.

Thanks for any advice you may have.

I should have been more clear everyone. I meant to only opti coat the CF, not the SS inserts. I could have bought titanium, but too expensive. I'll keep the SS inserts as clean as possible with non abrasive cleaners, because I don't want an abrasive metal polish anywhere near the CF.

Those are gorgeous - the whole Akrapovic line is pretty awesome.

I'd say Opti-Coat....

Thanks, the line is top of the line, but exoensive. I'm paying 2300 bucks for the exhaust.

That's going to look sweet sticking out the back of the C6Z.... you doing any other rear fascia mods as well?
