Default Muffler tips end upgrade please

I'm tire of looking that my anemic muffler tips, no imagination there compared with all newer cars. But, i'm not into any blink blink gadgets to make it uglier. Have someone updated the oem tips with something else ? Any interesting insert ?

thank you.

check out some of the magnaflow exhaust tips to start: http://www.magnaflow.com/02PRODUCT/doublewtips.asp

I'm sure there are cheaper ones, but I'm not sure of any more quality brands

How much does it cost to install the new tips? Do you think it will cause warranty issues?

I'm planning on getting the greddy SE or Tanabe MT for the IS350 but take it to a muffler shop and readjust the piping so it wrap around nicely. also change the tip if possible to the one similar to the quad exhaust on on cardomain.

Not yet, got some new priority for my car, but definively the mufller tips is on my list this year. I have to measure the OEM tips first and add maybe an inch bigger and beefier. As for the shape, oval or rectangular angled probably.
