Question Chrome Exhaust Tip for the GX

Has anyone put on a chrome exhaust tip for the GX? I wonder what size will fit it perfectly.

The Midas Store by me has an aftermarket stainless steel tip that looks real good. I'm going to stop by and check it out. I think it has to be welded on, but would really look good. Some of the chrome tip look cheap.

Hello Kbach,

Were you able to check out the Midas chrome tip?

Hey GX customizers,
I went to Midas also to check out exhaust tips and I found a pretty good one. It's a chrome 2 1/2 inch tip. I got it welded on tight and also drilled a little hole on the bottom so water can escape from the tip. Here's some pics.

Thanks for posting the Pics. How much did you have to pay for it?

I haven't made it to Midas yet. The one I saw was similar, but probably a 3" round stainless outlet. This one looks good too.

Hey Guys,
The Tip itself cost about $40 and labor was $30 so it cam out $70 plus tax. They also had to cut off part of the old tip to fit the new tip on. And this may be a 3" tip. I measured it today again to make sure. Alright then peace out.

P.S. Do you guys know about any good 24" rims for the GX?????

Ok, this is funny. I thought I was the only one who wanted to trick out their Lexus GX. My wife gave me a hard time about getting a chrome exhaust tip since all the boyz like to install these on their hondas. But, I was inspired after looking at the BMW 4.6i mods in their brochure.

What do y'all think? I chose a 3A Racing tip from Pep Boys for $35 which is installed w/o welding - but instead using screws which you can't see from the rear.
