Only onto the stock exhaust. However, you can custom weld on some aftermarket exhaust like what Mashina did for his Tanabe (i think).

Easiest place? Honda dealership at the parts counter. It won't be the cheapest though. For a better price, check eBay or post a WTB in the for sale section here, a few members had them to sell to me when I posted one.

Yeah fits on the stock exhaust, you can fit it on a F-Sport i guess, but your talking about cutting off the current tips and welding these in, probably not something most people want to do lol.

Looks much better with the AP2 tips !! I have these same ones on mine without the rear lip and i till think it looks much better than anything out there IMHO ! the OEMs and the GFX tips you had before all look way to small and dinky for our sporty rides !! Whenever i see another IS which just about always has the OEM ones i cringe yikesss

S2k's definitely compliment the gfx rear very well, kinda miss that look since switching to tanabe's.

Haha I know, the larger tips look 100x better than the smaller GFX tips, or worse, the stock tips lol. They need to redesign the tips to look more like this from the factory!

I'm surprised nobody mentioned/saw this, but holy gap on your rear gfx (both sides), did the tape come off?

I think the color is why they aren't sold yet, I don't know too many people who have a GFX rear and would run gloss black tips.
