Default Help me pick my quad exhaust tips on custom setup

Should I go with the burnt tips (3.5" inch)

OR

the polished stainless steel (4" tips)

I like the 4 inch sizing better (more aggressive) but like the burnt tip color, looks titanium. ugh and no they don't make 4" with burnt tip (I don't think). Most people here have the 3.5 inch. Only 4" tips I have seen are from Elusive (see last pic). FWIW my car is Molten Pearl.

This is a Japanese car... Some of the best made well known exhaust system like Amuse are made like this. Saying its rice sounds ridiculous. But hey, it's your opinion and that's mine.

It's also a Lexus, which in my opinion should be classy, sporty and elegant. I would put that exhaust on a Porsche but I wouldn't put it on an Aston Martin so i would treat a Lexus the same way. I hope my thinking makes better sense to you now.


To the OP: Will you have to modify the rear bumper to make this fit?

No you don't.

The top white car is mine and there is plenty of room for 4 inch tips.

The part # for mine is in my thread I made on what I did. The burnt ones were on ebay. Both are on ebay actually, and cheaper then going on company websites.

I vote stainless over the questionably ricer look of the burnt tips. Good luck in your choice!

I tried both already and have to say I like the burnt tips better. In my setup the 4" stainless steel were staggerred and that why switched....they stuck out way too far...

Here are pictures of both:
1. The 4" tips (Flowmaster)

2. Rear shot 4"

3. Side shot 4" sticking out

4.The burnt tips staggered. (with they were more staggered but this is all I could find)
