Default Installed Akrapovic tips - your thoughts

So, I received the Akrapovic tips and had them installed at my shop. I did not used the clamp that comes with them, I had them cleanly soldered to the muffler. I had them installed 3/4" longer than the OEM ones. What do you think?

Are those the "fake" Akropovic tips from eBay? There was a post on this. The real ones don't have any steel showing like yours do. They are carbon fiber all the way to the end.

They are not from Ebay, they have a CF overlay separated from the Stainless Steel. Akrapovic have a few models on them.
