Default Chrome Exhaust tip

I am looking for a chrome exhaust tip for a 2004 LX470. I tried ones from Pep Boys but they were either too small or TOO big. Any suggestions?

It's hard to choose from Pep Boys. Just get the ones from Lexus, or order a Land Cruiser one. Whichever is cheaper, get that. I got a 4Runner tip, because i got a discount on it, compared to the Lexus dealer and it perfectly fits my GX.

I searched online and I don't see a tip specifically for the LX or LandCruiser. I do see the one for the 4Runner though. Does anyone happen to know if the GX exhaust pipe is the same as the LX exhaust pipe? If so, I'll follow RX900's lead and get the 4Runner tip.

That's weird. I went to Lexus.com and searched for LX accessories, and what came up was the description of the GX exhaust tip. Must be the same. If you want to know if the "4Runner tip" will fit the LX, just observe how yours looks, then when you see a 4th gen (03-present) 4Runner with a chrome tip, just look and see if it's the same as yours. That's how i did mine before i bought the 4Runner tip. Besides, if it didnt fit my GX, I could just place it on the 4Runner. lol

Well it's possible no one makes a chrome exhaust tip if the pipe curves down in the back. That's what I noticed when I was in the decision between a Honda Pilot and Toyota 4Runner. The Honda Pilot doesn't have a chrome exhaust tip accessory, while the 4Runner has one (etiher a 4Runner tip or GX tip). So I highly doubt anyone will make one for the LX.

Default Found an exhaust tip

I found one from www.lexus-parts.com. It's for the LX and LandCruiser. It's not on the site but you can send a parts request for it. Costed $48.

I hope that thing is welded on enough, the last thing you need is for it to fall off while driving 70 mph and you hear a bang on the roadway. Otherwise, looks pretty nice, but like aedgington said, it sticks out too far.
