Remus exhaust Tips option

I am having a dilemma here to pick the right tips for Remus sport catback exhaust system.

I have M2 Long Beach blue 2018 LCI

I am thinking about adding a CF diffuser from MTC design or RKP down the road but for the looks I wanted to give you all an idea where I am going with the design

But I am not sure what tips to use for this exhaust system that would look great with my car. Any suggestions. I definitely want it to stand out. Wanted to hear your thought.

I have the carbon fiber/titanium tips, they're pretty nice. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them honestly.

Yeah I know just can't make up my mind. What color car do you have?

One of my friends with a remus exhaust is changing from chrome tips to carbon - but he's going to have them clear coated so they're gloss rather than matte. This way it matches the rest of the M performance/carbon parts on the car. If I were you that's the way i'd go.

Think its a great idea. I was torn between black chrome one (same as yours in black) or carbon fiber one. I am worried that exhaust will blend in with all the carbon fiber in diffuser.

Depends on the lighting conditions. During the day in good light there won't be an issue with visibility. In the shade or at night they definitely blend in more.

I really want it to stand out. I think of exhaust as functional jewelry for car. Why is your friend switching from chrome? He doesn't like the look?

I like the straight tips but also like the slant cut carbon. Confusion confusion. :

I guess he got bored of the look and wanted to switch it up. His car is gray.

If you want it to pop silver is definitely the way to go.

I would do some google image searching and see what tip color you like best on a blue M2. That should help narrow down your choice.

I think a carbon fiber rear diffuser and the angled silver exhaust tips (picture 2) would look awesome and definitely stand out. Personally, the angled tips flow better with the angle of the diffuser and the silver will really pop from the carbon.

Mine is MGM. If you're looking for something that stands out you'll probably like one of the chrome options.
