They're in great shape too.
not bad. Most decent custom tips start at around the same price for just one! Decent upgrade, as some say, "If you Like them, I Love them"

Yep they sure do - I've heard of a few 1SC guys doing this mod.

I guess that's what counts.

I see a somewhat of a difference but I think the 01+ tips are small too. I would've just gotten Borla tips.

I have the two chrome OEM tips that I removed from my GS400 before I wrecked it. Pay for shipping and they are yours. First to PM gets them. (I had a 2000 GS400 but it still had the newer tips, I thought that they started adding them in 2000? 98/99 were the only years that did not come with them I thought)
