Default AP1 Exhaust tips instead of AP2?

Has anyone installed the AP1 exhaust instead of the AP2? Personally I like the more circular shape than the oval ones better and they seem like a bigger version of the what sewell calls it the accessory exhaust tips. http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2013/1876.html

can the OEM exhaust tips on a regular exhaust system be removed and different tips be installed without replacing an entire exhaust system?

Yes, tips are only there for looks. The OEM ones can literally be pulled off by hand (make sure you haven't driven in a while as they will be hot).

I think most people like AP2s because the fill up the gap pretty well. These are nice also, if you prefer the circular look over the ellipse.

Those look pretty good! I do like the AP2's more because they fill out the space better, but those look good too!
I'm sure there are others that would prefer this AP1 look too.

They look good, but like others have said, I prefer the AP2s since they fill up the gap
