Slash Cut vs Straight Cut Exhaust Tips: Which Style to Pick
Every Brockett Built exhaust tip is built in one of two cut styles, and both are available in 304 stainless or CP1 titanium. The cut changes the look of the tip, not how it fits. Here is the difference.
Straight cut
The outlet is squared off to the tube. From behind the vehicle you see a full round mouth. It is the cleaner, more understated option and it works on almost anything, from a daily driver to a work truck.
Slash cut
The outlet is cut on an angle, so the top of the tip extends farther back than the bottom. It exposes more of the inside of the tip and reads as more aggressive. Slash cut is the pick when you want the tip to be a visual feature.
Inserts: honeycomb, middle finger, or none
Either cut can be ordered with an insert set inside the outlet:
- Honeycomb insert: a mesh pattern across the mouth of the tip.
- Middle finger insert: exactly what it sounds like, for people who want their exhaust to have an opinion.
- No insert: a clean, open tip.
The product pages list every combination: straight or slash, with honeycomb, with middle finger, or with no insert.
Which should you pick?
- Want it to look factory-plus and clean: straight cut, no insert.
- Want people to notice the tip: slash cut, with or without an insert.
- Want the tip to be the centerpiece: slash cut in burnt titanium, which adds the gold and blue heat color on top of the angled outlet.
Sizing is the same either way
Cut style does not change fitment. You still match the inlet to your tailpipe and pick the outlet and length you want. See how to measure exhaust tip size.
