I am sure that you will find something better and cheaper on the aftermarket as opposed to OEM. I am not bragging or anything (ok maybe a little) but I think that I have a nice pair of aftermarket tips. Sorry, I don't know the manufacturer because I bought them locally at a mom and pop muffler shop. Try nopi.com or get out and look around.

Very nice picture, Kaygee .

Shadow - gotta agree with what Kaygee said. Don't go for the factory tips UNLESS you're going to get a set of L-tuned tips which are significantly better looking than factory 01+ tips. Borla also sells their stainless steel tips, and you can look locally at many stores like Kaygee did for unique alternatives. His really look awesome in person with the pattern inside the tip (I took the picture above at our Dragon's Tail meet).

Check the classified section here too, members often have them for sale. I believe DrewGS4 has some Borla tips for sale.

They don't sell just the tips you have to buy the whole MUFLER!

Ohh well.

Hey bud, what shop did you get those tips at here in ATL???? I like those. I've been looking around, but can't find anything that I really really like since I don't want it to look ricey. I do like the look of yours. I know copying somebody is taboo, but maybe I can get some similar to those or maybe the borla ones I like too.

Let me know.

Suggest you try posting that question in the LS400 forum

Suggest you try the PM feature and ask the person whom you want to reply the question.

Hey Guys,

Thanks Dave for remembing me.

I have a few pairs of borla tips for sale.

These tips will fit on all years for the GS3 and GS4 and early model LS400's and all years of the SC400.

These tips are completely bolt on....that means NO WELDING!

If anyone is interested in pair shoot me an email at drew@tritel.mi8.com.

The parts manager at my local lexus dealership loves the way these tips look on my GS400 that he now puts them on some of their GS300/430 showroom cars.
