NEW Fringe XVO "Afterburner" Exhaust Tips

G37sHKS · 10-01-2011, 05:00 AM

Make one that fits HKS exhaust and ill buy ASAP

I have a question though, dont you see that the tips are kind off tall and might stick out of the body? and what is the diameter of outer pipe? it looks small imo

Look at the GTR's tips, they are PERFECT!! not huge, not tall and not ricey

just my 2 cents

He he... well, to some, sure. To others, not so much.

Those of us that are seriously passionate about our vehicles tend to know what we like and how we like it. Usually it's all about going fast, but sometimes, just sometimes...it's about looking good doing it. That is, of course, up to an individual's personal perception.

When it comes to exhaust tips traditionally you are limited on what you can even like, because there are only a couple of choices to make. You have stainless pipe sticking out, or a rolled tip. Either of those can be slash cut. Now we have titanium and burnt titanium, but they are still just one of the two previous types of exhaust tip I mentioned. Hope you like pink-ish-purpley-blue, cause that's your option if you don't want the Ti plain. All I'm doing is giving you another option...some will like it and some won't. One of the cool things about these is you can easily finish/coat them just about any way you can imagine. Again, it's all about options, and in this day and age, a man has got to have choices.

The new version I will make is going to resemble the GTR tips more closely, in that they will not taper as much as the first prototypes. They will be smaller though, the GTR tips have an OD of 5"!!!
I do always welcome feedback, as your feedback is the primary reason why I pay to put the pics up here for you to see. Keep in mind that these have yet to be put on a car, and that will be the final decision making moment for most everyone even remotely interested in the design. Thank you all! Keep it coming...

I think "ricey" is an interesting street slang term that carries a little different meaning for each person using it, so I never really know what someone means when they say something is ricey. For example, when I think something is ricey it's usually something that looks cheap and has the intended purpose of giving the appearance of speed or power, but doesn't actually do anything. Look at the faux hood scoops people put on whatever. Often that money could have at least been spent on a k & n filter or something. Then again, my '73 Plymouth Barracuda came with faux scoops from the factory (which I hated). So does my V-max motorcycle. I hate that too. The tips being developed here are high quality and intended to give Z owners that HAVE ALREADY UPGRADED their exhaust another option, should they choose to take it.

Any updates?

FringeXVO · 10-11-2011, 08:33 PM

There will be soon. Right now I am focused on getting a unique set to Dubai for a vehicle in the Dubai International Auto Show this November. That's huge exposure. I will upload renderings of the new Z tip soon.

not my style at all but I am really glad to see someone using their creativity to keep things fresh in the community! +1 to you!

FringeXVO · 10-25-2011, 02:49 AM

Here is something a little different. Hmmm...this MAY be the new Z tip. Final finish is not on them. These are just brushed stainless.

The Fringe "F" is cut all the way through, as indicated by the gleam from the flashlight.

Look for these on display at the Dubai International Auto Show this November.

To get the full effect you need to merge this with one of those spark plug exhaust flamethrower kits

e.g. Exhaust Flame Thrower Kits – Flamethrowers For Cars, Motorcycles, Trucks & SUV’s
