Cut my hand on active valve exhaust tips.

[tlr3715]

Well it finally happened. I always thought the active performance exhaust tips on the S650 looked unfinished and cheap. Even more so than the base exhaust options. Most other cars I’ve owned fold the metal over or create finished caps around the pipe itself. With this exhaust it appears they just cut the steel pipe at an angle and called it a day leaving the edges sharp. Then as I was cleaning them got a nice cut on my hand like a giant metal paper cut. Be careful when you clean around the exhaust fellow owners!

still sounds great though

I did the same half an hour ago. I knew I should have checked in here first.

Put a Lion King bandaid on it. Makes it feel a lot better.

I got Mommy to kiss it better.

I felt it as soon as I read the title… oooh

I literally just washed my car and detailed it a few hours ago and I refuse to go near my exhaust tips now, I’m too flippant and clumsy when I’m drying it.
Learned once, I’ll use gloves if I’m gonna polish them

I prefer MY LITTLE PONY Band-Aids when I get mustang cuts.

Not the first thread about this , not the last... Those suckers are sharp !

I fixed them by replacing them with a Borla catack.
They went the metel recycle bin.

a tale repeated since 2018; clean your exhaust tips and get cut by the unfinished metal. still probably safer than a Cyber Truck, though. someone needs to make a version of those silicone covers they sell to put on a cat's claws, but for the active exhaust tips

It got the back of my finger one day washing above it too quickly. Was bleeding all over the place.
