I have Fabspeed wide ovals on my car too. I like them, they're good quality.

Brightness cranked up on the first picture so that you can see the inside of them.

You got the first batch when John gaydos and me setup the production of these tips. I found later they improoved th eproduct by applying a black coat (ceramic?) inside the tips which hides the welds and join of the pieces which is the top cherry of the cake in my eyes. I do have the black ceramic coating tips.

These are great tips and very cost friendly. Great alternative.

I purchased the Fabspeed oval in brushed alu with black inner powder coding. They looked great initially but I do have some quality issues with them. Only after a few good drives, the inner black powder coating wore off. Fabspeed did replace them with a set of new one as they said they have never seen this happen. Unfortunately, the second pair had the same problem. I voice my quality concerns with them, but they would not take them back. Had I known that, I probably would not have bought them. Just my 2 cents.

BTW, has anyone else experienced that with their Fabspeed ovals. Here are few pictures.

Mine came off as well inside. Is this a quality issue? Mine were installed in July. I had my mechanic install these as he is a Fabspeed Dealer. He ordered them directly through Fabspeed.

Powder coat will not stand up to exhaust temps. Needs to be ceramic coat. Fabspeed should know better.

I might have been mistaken by calling it powder coat. I think they use Ceramic coating. For the black tip they use ceramic coating. Not sure about the inside.

FWIW, I bought the FVD tips because to my eye they look very similar to the factory wide ovals, and they are of dual wall construction. At the time, factory wide ovals were much more expensive.

I'm not fond of the way that the fabspeed tips are constructed.

Good call. Having gone through countless different oval tips, OEM is the way to go, just my opinion. As they say...buy once, cry once (or something like that)
