Same. I've had mine for about 3 years now and I'm not sure if the heat has messed up the clear coat or whatever but its looking pretty bad. I may contact Magnaflow about it. I wonder if anyone else with carbon fiber tips on any other brands are having the same issues?I recently got the Xmod Magnaflow exhaust for my A90, but one of the tips has a slight scuff in them. Wondering if anybody knows where I could find replacement tips?

I'm guessing they will offer to sell or replace the tips. They are a relatively large company and I don't see much negative said so I've got to think they have decent customer service. Really though I just want you to reach out for my own purposes so that I can know if replacement is an option, I'm planning to get either XMOD or FI exhaust later this year and will go with carbon tips.I may contact Magnaflow about it.
I thought about FI before I got the magnaflow but I heard the magnaflow and I was sold. And I did like that it was modular also but found I just used the the straight pipe set up and eventually pulled the fuse to keep the exhaust open completely . I never heard the FI in person but now Iām wondering if having the carbon wrap around the ends like the magnaflow does was a design flaw.I'm planning to get either XMOD or FI exhaust later this year and will go with carbon tips.
Any issues with the magnaflow other than the tips? Sounds like you're loving the sound. Wouldn't mind convincing myself to go magnaflow and save myself a few hundred bucks.I thought about FI before I got the magnaflow but I heard the magnaflow and I was sold.

Its a great exhaust. Absolutely love how it sounds. It turns peoples heads before they even see the car coming. Loud but not in an obnoxious way.Any issues with the magnaflow other than the tips?

well...that kinda sucksIn case anyone was curious, I did reach out to Magnaflow as to whether they sell replacement tips. Below is the response I ended up with:
Unfortunately, we do not sell just the separate components from within our systems. The kits are pre-packaged as kits and we do not have a separate part numbers available for each section individually. Tip deterioration will always play a roll on the environment the vehicle is in as well so dependent on the customers who have had issues with their tips discoloring may have their vehicles in environments that fluctuates and have harsh conditions that the system will go through.
