Default V8 dual exhaust tips color change

I just noticed that the outer exhaust tip is turning a bronze color while the inside tips are staying the original stainless color. Anything I need to be concerned about?

  1. If you do not want them to tarnish/change colors, you need to clean them more often
  2. The reason the outer ones are different is likely due to you running in "Loud" exhaust mode more often. When you do that, the exhaust is coming out of the outer pipes...And so they will tarnish or soot up faster.
Beyond that...no issues...Just cosmetic.

Thank you! I've only had the car a few months and I hand wash it every week, but I admit, I haven't spent a great deal of time on the exhaust tips.
I have been running in loud mode predominately. Its a bit addictive.

Just a little chrome or metal polish will make them shine without much work.
