Default Thoughts on Ti tips?

I had my Invidia Gemini exhaust with Ti tips put on about a month ago and I absolutely love it. While everyone compliments the sound, I get mixed opinions on the titanium tips. It seems like people either really like them or really hate them.

While I always have and always will like them, I just wanted to know how the rest of the community feels about them. Please share your thoughts as well as your reasoning..

I have the HKS exhaust with the Ti tips too. I like them, but I would really like a second set of tips in rolled SS to make the car look more like stock. I like the stock sleeper look...

love them I agree on certain cars/colours the Ti tips can look either really good or really bad, so can see why some people don't like them.

only reason I didn't get the F.I exhaust was cause there were no tip options, ended up getting the invidia catback as well and love the sound.

I like them, but I kind of chuckled last fall. I was at a Grand-Am race in the Nissan car corral and one of the Z guys saw titanium tips on a GTR and said that he must be running too rich.

Burnt titanium tips are not for me. I think it's a fad, but what do I know. I'm not going to hate on a car because it has something on it that I don't like. The owner of the car has obviously put a lot of thought, time, and money into making their car unique to them and I can appreciate that.
