I agree!!!

Take a look at the G35/350Z tips. They are of a nice size and the tips are rolled so they look factory stock but elegant!

This is going to be my project for tomorrow: Painting the mufflers in black and looking for bigger tips...

That is very touchy subject for me, I had some awesome SRR Vienna, but almost loose one on the highway, I think I'm going to stick with Lexus approved wheel now

Good idea, the larger tips will look much better.

Very cool mod. I always wondered what an aftermarket exhaust would sound like on a hybrid. Sounds clips would be nice...great job

Fantastic work. Yeah TTE should have made it with bigger tips.

Update !

This week end I painted the mufflers black, matte heat resistant black, I think it really helps, the mufflers were very shinny and they were a distraction, in black it is much less of a problem, if any.




Next step is to find a good exhaust shop to upgrade those tips to bigger one to fill the gap in the rear bumper. Talking about that, anyone can recommend a good exhaust shop in San Diego ?
