Is it me or should we press racing beat to make better tips for there exhaust. I hate the fact that the tips keep turning yellowish and the hymee stays normal

I would buy a racing beat exhaust right now if it had tips exactly like the Hymee exhaust. I love the design of Hymee's tips! They look much more "finished".

So in short... I want the racing beat exhaust, but I want the Hymee tips.

The Hymee is about $200 more than the Greddy which also gets gold tips. One can buy alot of Never Dull with $200. The reason the Hymee tips don't change is the DBL wall design, like the OEM LINK
The RB, Greddy & others tips are single wall attached to the exhaust pipe. That design transfers more hit to the tips.

I have 9k miles on my RB exhaust.
I have never seen a color change or any issue with the tips.
The outside of the tips looks brand new.
I do clean them every weekend when I wash my car. (with Never Dull)

Here is a pic from an RX-8 meet 2 weekends ago.

I can't comment for anyone else, but these tips are great. IMHO

Try www.mazdatrix.com (exhaust sections). It will give you little snippets of these exhausts on the RX8.
