Oh I see, the uneven ness of the inside pipe

I read somewhere that metal polisher like Brasso can cause burnt exhaust tips to discolor. Not sure how much truth there is to that....

And the unevenness can be adjusted. Mine came the same way, takes an allen wrench and about 5 minutes to fix.

Just get them to send you a new tip for free, take it to a muffler shop and have them cut a bit of the inner pipe off and install the new tip. Costing you more but it should be reasonable and it's problem solved in one day.

vinyl wrap it in desired color, problem solved.

Um I think that might melt? The discoloration is from heat right.

The discoloration happened on Day 1(actually on my way home after getting installation).The uneveness of inner tip is the result of adjustment of the outer tip(I will get nothing from adjusting tip since the inner tip is not adjustable). Ark said I will be getting for the return will be not even too, so I said I see every dts exhaust pictures online are even. I don't know if it's BS, but they said it was even at first but recently produced ones are all uneven. I'm just gonna ask for the refund or at least return without shipping cost on Monday.

They should cover 100% of the return cost

Thing is... IT'S AN EXHAUST
Call them and tell them to pay for you going to an exhaust shop to have the inner and outer tips adjusted
It can't be more than $100, and it'll be 100% to the tee perfect and you can have it adjusted higher, lower, and sticking out more or less
