That's a nice touch to prevent theft. I was able to install my Ford black exhaust tip tonight but it was to dark to grab a decent picture. I was considering grabbing my mig welder and just adding 2 tack welds to prevent possible theft too. I'll do that maybe in a couple weeks after I feel comfortable with my exhaust tip placement whether i should slide in on the pipe more or less.I added two stainless steel pop rivets through the clamp, tip flange and pipe. Trying to prevent it from possibly loosening up and falling off or quick theft.
Looks good. Have mine coming soon. Nice little touch.Got mine installed a little bit ago. I love it!
Post #39 & #41 I posted a bunch.Jamie V, any pictures with the black tips installed? Any wear and tear?
It only took one camping trip each to burn the black paint off three different tips with my 7.3 gasser. RBP, Flo Pro, and MBRP all failed miserably. Gave up and installed a polished 304 stainless 4” to 6“ tip on my black-out Lariat. Doesn’t look bad after it gets hot and turns a dark golden color.Anyone bought an exhaust tip black in color? If so what size and brands has anyone bought?
Thanks
It's been great no wear at all so far. Here's a picture of the exhaust tip the day I installed it. It's too dark outside now to get a picture, but I cut off roughly 7" of my stock exhaust if I recall and then slid the new Ford Tip on. Maybe later this week or next I'll have a chance to wash the truck and get some new pictures posted of the entire truck.Hey JJTremor & Jamie V, any pictures with the black tips installed?

No wear would be huge with this! Painted tips get beat up so fast. I have some ford rewards dollars left. May have to grab one. Definitely post some more pics when you get a chance.It's been great no wear at all so far. Here's a picture of the exhaust tip the day I installed it.

Installed my Jamo dpf back w/ tip.
Did it make any difference in sound? If so any audio clips you can share?
Agree, there isn't much after the DPF but was curious.Doubt it. Only way to get that is to delete
No sound change, yet...Agree, there isn't much after the DPF but was curious.
@STDevil I did the same thing. I used high temp flat black and after a year it still looks great.I used some Rust Oleum High Temp paint to paint my tip. It's only been a few hundred miles since I applied it, but it looks pretty good still. Might want to give it a shot.
It will work great.Thanks!! Fortunately I have the factory not coated 6.7 tips so I’m hopeful with good cleaning, high temp primer and paint following the instructions to warm up between coats will work well. Fortunately I only have 75 miles on it so there isn’t much buildup/oils on them that require a lot of cleaning/prep.
That is ridiculous.So I scheduled my first oil change and asked the dealership if they could install the Ford performance exhaust tip I bought awhile back while they had the truck (I haven’t had the time to install it myself). They said they couldn’t install customer supplied parts and that if I modified the exhaust I could void the warranty (the truck came with a lifetime power train warranty from the dealer in addition to the factory warranty). I’m pretty sure that is ridiculous and asked for a call back from their service manager but has anyone ever heard of any warranty being voided for adding an exhaust tip (including the removal of about 7” of exhaust pipe)?
That statement makes me think they look like this...So I scheduled my first oil change and asked the dealership if they could install the Ford performance exhaust tip I bought awhile back while they had the truck (I haven’t had the time to install it myself).
