Those look amazing. You just made me regret spending the extra cash on the titanium tipped invidia. Looks like I will eventually have to cut them off an replace them with these. Did you get the single to dual outlet or are there 4 tips?

Damn.. 350$ for just tips??

I'm guessing it doesn't change the sound of the exhaust? Pure cosmetics?

My exhaust sounds good to me already.

My original tips started to rust on the surface so I used that as an excuse to buy new tips

here's a link to my exhaust set up.

in the video it was on the original owners car

Those look pretty damn fly. I might have to get me a pair of those. Hmm... I'm currently in the thoughts of buying my rear diffuser and finally change to the quad setup. These tips look perfect. That price doeee...

That is a aftermarket rear diffuser already on the car. It looks like the TRD style. Perfect for quad exhausts.

too bad it's only the tip, it would've been cool if it was a full akrapovic exhaust
