I've seen videos of people doing their own burning of titanium with a torch but I wouldn't ever trust myself enough to do it and wouldn't risk ruining it either

to the other guy - from the looks of it, it's standard issue resonators on the midpipe before it hits the cans.

Both the non-burnt tips and the rolled tips are normal options from Amuse. The non-burnt tips are the "C Tail" option and the rolled tips are the "09 Tails." The reason why they're called "09 Tail" is because they changed the laws for street cars in Japan in 2009 to disallow straight-cut tips on street cars; Amuse released the rolled tips to counter that.

I think this is the only 09 Tail 370Z exhaust in the US, so still rare.



As phelan mentioned, you can't replace the tips since they're part of the exhaust and I don't think Amuse is going to sell tips and risk having somebody ruin one of their "pieces of art."
