Just got mine and maybe less than a 100 miles and just a goldening affect going on the tips but really nothing to mention? Is it something you can polish out?

I've had the GHL Bullets for over two years now, and 11,000 miles, with no issues, and nothing like you've described. I have a '00 A4 Coupe, with LS6 intake, cold air intake, and OEM exhaust ahead of the GHL system.

2000 C5 here with GHL 4-tip Bullets for four years with H/C, longtubes hi-flow cats, X-pipe, Z06 intake manifold and injectors, Blackwing, ported and polished throttlebody and a bunch of other things. Outside of tips look the same as the day they were installed....no bluing or discoloration. Just a thought...are you treating, or polishing, the metal with anything that could be the root cause of your issue?

Sounds very nice. Looks like your exhaust system is drooling. Good job on your car sounds like you have it running good. Any numbers yet?
