looks good. but i know from experience that the pilot tips will rust through within a year. they are chrome plated as opposed to stainless. I just bought my second set (oval tips) last week. I'm trying to find a similar look in stainless, but for the time being, I dont mind just buying new ones when they rust out bc they are so cheap ($10 ea)

What do you guys use to spary on the bolts so that they won't break upon removal in the future? I hear the bolts rust and won't come off easily.

My bro told me to use a Rust spray on it. I did so and then proceeded to spray a coat of Black Engine enamel paint to seal it. It looks much better.
My Neuspeed exhaust will replace the stock one soon.
