I just took this photo. 20k plus miles on the exhaust/30k on the bronco. I am sure if you polished the tip it would look close to day one but it is hidden so no one sees it. I always get compliments on my exhaust sound from other bronco owners. I have drove 10+hr trips with it and I found it to be fine as far as any noise/drone. I think it was a great purchase. Not one issue with it.
I installed mine yesterday. No issues with the installation at all, but damn it's loud lol. Drove around in the desert last night and really let it rip. it's not unbearable but don't know if it is something I will keep on for the long run. Lets see.
