Black exhaust tip

M

Thanks man.

 

I’ll double check...thanks guys.

 

The shop that did my exhaust asked me if I wanted Chrome or Black, they had them on hand. So glad I went with black.

 

U got a pic of it?

 

I painted my tailpipe with plain old black pain. In fact it's duplicolor black trim paint that I used to paint some of the chrome accents sound shifter and cup holder. Had plenty left so I gave it a shot. Its holding up just fine so far so I may use it for the tip too. Its dirty in the pics. Also my sway bar u bolts hace some thread showing as well.

 

Still holding up?

 

yes sir it is like new

 

OEM black chrome exhaust tip and painted the piping as well

 

My TRD dual exhaust has all surface rust on the pipes that lead to the tips. The truck is only four months old. Anybody else getting that problem?

 

Yep noticed how bad it was last weekend

 

@Tundra4Pinay where’s your pics?

 

My TRD duals. Took them off and used the media cabinet to clean up. 4 coats of vht high temp matte black and 2x matte clear coat. Should be installing tomorrow.

 

Was too dark when i got home. Should have a better chance tomorrow.

For anyone who has a Toyota Orig. exhaust tip to remove, be prepared to use a lot of force and muscle! I basically unscrewed the clamp and used a piece of wood, holding it against the edge of the tip and banging the heck at it till it finally came off almost an hour later. Also, have WD-40 ready to help loosen it up. Of course once thats off the new one slips in easily..

 

Ordered this $21 one from Amazon, just showed up today:

How did it fit?

 

Looks good Sean, did you use hi-temp? had my tip powder coated and its starting to bubble a bit.

 

Thought about painting my TRD sway bar u-bolts and hardware black too, would look much cleaner,

 

I didn't use high temp. Just some regular spray paint I had laying around. Seems to have worked ok. Needs another coat soon though.

 

Glad I read this. I will be adding duals sometime soon and want black tips. Think I might buy/acquire another oem chrome tip and paint them.

 

Finished, hope it holds up to the salt and grime from our wonderful Nashville roads. Gaskets did not fit so those did had to be modified. Not sure what happened there.

 

This is the one I got from Toyota. Black chrome it’s called. Looks cool

 

So I finally took some pics as he sits at the moment.







And so when I took off the original chrome tip, I was so focused on banging the thing off that I did not take pics of the process. I have the tip and can share how I got it off.

This is the orig. chrome. Inside the sleeve to the left is two half moon pieces of steel that act as a washer.



This is the piece of wood that I used with a hefty hammer to coax this off the exhaust. You need to put the wood in this position because at some point the washer will come off and this is the only place to get leverage. You see how much I beat this piece of wood up, the tip was on really tight and also WD40 helped! You also see in the background some of the wood that splintered off...The finished look is awesome!

 

I bet your neighbors are wondering WTF is she doing!

 

Something new to listen to instead of neighbors arguing or the occasional gunshot

 

if you think it's fun taking it off, it's just as much of a joy putting it back on

 

You can come be my neighbor. We can geek out on our trucks. We could laugh at each other for taking too long to wash our trucks.

 

4 hours washing sexy back into the Tundra is not too long lol

 

I've been thinking about doing this and your pic has sold me. What paint did you use on the exhaust pipe?

 

I've not seen rust on mine after 18 months on the truck - but I live in AZ. I'll look a whole lot closer when I pull the pipes off to paint them black.
