Default Exhaust Tips?

Hey guys I had borla exhaust tips on my 2GS and it gave the car a nice understated 'bling' lol...I was looking to do the same with my new wheels...Has anyone just added exhaust tips, and if so what brand?

*Any pics would be appreciated.

I actually don't know the name of these but they are very much like the Borla tips that you mentioned (double walled, rolled edges, stainless steel). I drove by a "hole in the wall" muffler shop and stopped in to see what they had. I would suggest doing that over buying something off of the internet that you can't actually see.

I need to go to the dyno and see how much horsepower these things add.

They are welded. I know we all drive ourselves crazy sometimes researching on the internet but for something simple like tips it may be worth it to drive around and find out what is available locally. YMMV

On my GS4 the Borla tips actually gave me an additional 25 RWHP per tip

I used to have an exhaust tip from Advanced Auto Parts on my RX, but then I finally put an exhaust on it haha, so now I have a real muffler and tip. That actually increase flow and noise.
