MAC vs Bassani, exhaust tips

lil666 · May 10th, 2007, 09:12 AM

I think I've narrowed down my exhaust choices to these two. In the process of research though, I've read that the MAC tips rust quickly. I live in the Northeast. While I don't drive the car in the snow, I do take it out once roads are clear (and usually heavily salted). I don't want to be replacing tips every year.

Anyone have any experience with this for either brand?

Thanks.

My flowmaster chrome tips haven't rusted and look beautiful!

I have the MAC tips. I live in the northeast as well and they didn't rust out this past winter. And they look sweet as the rolled tip

North east here and the bassanis are still looking sweet, no rust in sight.

If you are that worried about them, put a few layers of wax on them before you put them on. That's what I did with my magnaflow tips.

Ok.. Sounds like I just need to make up my mind and do it... no more excuses.

Thanks all. Appreciate the feedback.

i have not had any problems with my mac kit. it was a pain in some spots to tighten up but was a good kit overall.
