Does that look black to you? Once you go black, you never go back! ha!

(forgive my twisted humor, but I'm trying to keep my spirits up until Raby posts his opinion)

Did you use a finger to wipe the inside of the tailpipe to see if appreciable difference in consistency? Pics are different in lighting so looks could be deceiving here, besides the passenger side need to be adjusted horizontally.

You're pipes look similar to my right tailpipe, but of a different design. You have a more consistent brown patina. I guess that is a positive, huh?

Attached it a full size photo with more light on the pipe. If I wipe my finger inside of the tailpipe of course I'm going to get black soot on it. The other looks more brown with a rusted texture. I must also mention that the last time I washed the car, I chrome polished the diffusion chrome tips. Even with polishing them, they still have a weird patina around the edge.

I dunno. Let's see what the Meister says. I will say and will post, when I get the car back, that both of your pipes look better than mine.

Yours look fine... That looks like a left over '99 car with those small tailpipes.. These are usually great engines, if its the original. I see some 2000 models like this from time to time.

B3,
You are not so lucky. What are you doing this weekend? I am shooting videos on bore scoring, and I need to use your car. It may be a better example than the one I have here now. Maybe we can scope it and check it out at the same time.
