While custom exhaust tips will slightly adjust the sound and tone of your Mustang, they’re also a great way to add style. Mustang tips are affordable and easy to install – it only takes a few minutes to weld or clamp them on. MRT has insight on how custom Mustang exhaust tips help you Get Noticed even when the engine is stone silent.
Types of Mustang Exhaust Tips
Many exhaust tip shapes and designs are available to personalize your Mustang. Here’s an overview of the most common choices:
Single-wall exhaust tips
Per the name, these exhausts have a single layer or wall of metal. Single-wall tips offer more of a classic minimalist look and are the least expensive but might not be as durable.
Double-wall exhaust tips
These tips have a second metal layer that wraps back, giving them a fuller look for better visibility. Dual-wall exhaust tips also have a smoother finish, come in more shapes and last longer.
Straight-cut exhaust tips
This means the end of the metal tubing is cut at a straight 90-degree angle. They look bigger from the outside and have more of an old-school look, making them ideal for early-generation Mustangs.
Angle-cut exhaust tips
A slanted tip goes well with a more aggressive Mustang body style such as the Shelby GT500 or SVT Mustang Cobra. It gives the rear of the vehicle a sharp appearance and an attitude that says you came to play.
Roll-edge exhaust tips
A rolled exhaust tip has a gracefully rounded edge, giving your exhaust system flair, depth and a larger profile. It complements modern Mustangs and will be very pronounced on a smaller car like the third-gen Fox Body Mustang.
Inter-cooled exhaust tips
Designed to help cool exhaust gases, inter-cooled tips have a larger secondary tube with fins inside. They’ll give any Mustang a high-performance look, though they may also make the exhaust a few decibels softer.
Turn-down exhaust tips
The outlet on a turn-down exit exhaust curves downward towards the road, letting other drivers see more of the tip’s surface. Turn-downs also make it harder for debris to collect. They’re sometimes called “dump outs.”

Mustang Exhaust Tip Color
The standard choices for exhaust tips are polished metal and flat black. Polished exhaust tips are the most affordable option and complement most paint schemes. Blackout exhaust tips can blend into black exterior paint or look aggressive against lighter shades. They also help disguise carbon deposits that may build up over time.
If you want a truly customized look, you can paint a Mustang exhaust tip yourself using high-heat spray paint. Use green, flame blue, orange, chrome and other hues to complement the vehicle. Look for paint that has a minimum heat resistance of 600 degrees Fahrenheit.
