Sewell shows the stock tailpipe tips... or they used to at one time. Should be available through any Lexus dealer too. Bare in mind the tips changed in 2011 to a thicker design.

and if you want the entire muffler shiny, there was a member who had the stock muffler polished or you can buy an aftermarket muffler if you want the shine.

Do you only need the tips or the entire axel back exhaust? I have the OEM tips that I'll sell to you if you need them.

Plus, there's a DIY about polishing the OEM exhaust. I did it to mine and like it. Free is good. The black finish comes right off but you have to use a Scotch brite pad to remove it. Don't use sandpaper since it may be too coarse and the scratches may be too deep to get out. I used a dremel pad with the Scotch brite wheel on it. Faster and better.

PM me if you have questions.

Use steel wool 0000 instead then use a metal polisher and polish the crap out of it.

Here's the link to the OEM exhaust polishing post:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...t-exhaust.html

There was a concern raised about the exhaust rusting if the coating is removed. I'm one of many who have actually done it and there are no signs of it rusting. I've had mine for about a year and have yet to see rusting. It should have rusted almost immediately. FYI.

And yes you can use steel wool but I found that the dremel method was a lot quicker. To each his own...
