Anyone off the top of their head know the max width possible for the exhaust tips, so I wouldn't have to get a new bumper?

Thinking about slapping something on to make the back look a bit more aggressive, the stock tips are too recessed making it not as visible as I would like.
I found a couple on ebay with a 2.25" inlet that aren't "too" wide, I was hoping some 2GS connoisseurs could chime in. Much appreciated.

...do you own a ruler?

Not at the moment, why?

A US dollar is six inches in length

Because you can just go out to the car and measure the cutouts in the bumper. Duh. How stupid are people these days?

Thanks!

Some stupid people are stuck at work, thanks for your input though it was very helpful.

ph0, It's because they don't know the answer, yet the topic appeared so asinine at the same time, lol.

I'm with you though. My GS sits at home daily and there are times I have no luck with the search section or Google and wished folks would just answer with facts, or leave it alone. That's not the era we are in, unfortunately. I asked a question about a link that was in a massive thread of "help" links that was not working for "me" and apparently I should have automatically known that the person that created that helpful link on a certain topic wanted his posts removed from this site. Forums can be a double edged sword sometimes. Bummer

Yeah, what can you do? I searched the forums all morning, and didn't find my answer, hence the post. To those also wondering the answer to this question, it's like alphaman said earlier, the length of a dollar (6 in) should do it.

I get it, some users are a bit "lazy" when it comes to finding the answers on their own.

Having said all that, did you try searching for the answer or Google? 😂😂

I am running a Tanabe Medalion exhaust on mine and it is advertised as a 4.5" tip. Both tips fits perfect on my 04 GS300 bumper.

I see, looks like you could maybe have 5in tips at least and still have enough space.

There are so many systems that are direct fit. Just find one you like and install it. Go as big as you want. 5 inch would be overkill imo. But to each their own.

ph0bolus

Not wanting a system though, just the tips. Didn't want any change in sound output just aesthetics.

I remember back in the day, when we went out and measured things and TRIED stuff on our cars. Like taking stuff apart, and wheel test fitting.
Back before the internet had all the answers. I just think it's funny that someone can "spend all morning on the internet looking" (when at "work") when it would take 45 seconds at the back of the car with a tape measure to determine this.
These days I guess simple wheels and "tints" are classified as a "build."

Not meaning to sound defensive, but actually spent the morning BEFORE work searching, and asked on my lunch break, also ended up going home and measuring myself anyway and posted measurement here, since a majority of the posts on the thread bar alphamans, were judgmental and useless.

Thanks for your input, it's duly noted. Now we know that if you don't spend 10k+ it isn't considered a real "build".

To be honest I personally would not run larger than a 4.5" on a factory bumper. This picture was just after I installed it but once I got everything tightened up and the angles correct (see passenger side tip), side to side it is super close and you really can not even get a finger in between the exhaust tip and the bumper. This tight fit also makes it hard to clean but I deal with it.
