Default X Force Varex exhaust tips

Hey guys, I just installed PPE UEL catless headers and an Xforce Varex exhaust. I don't have my factory tips anymore and was looking for some "tips" for installing real tips. My issue is that the outlet doesn't seem centered on the holes in the bumper. I don't know if this is by design or if I did something wrong. Pictures attached. Thank You. Please ignore my burnt bumper, mistakes were made with a previous project.

I have that exhaust and noticed the same thing. The exhaust outlet seems to line up more with the top exhaust tip on my stock tips. Not sure what others have done who are running the X-Force exhaust.

I had mine professionally installed, same issue that they don't line up with where the bumper tips are. I would hazard a guess that Lexus made the "tips" in the bumper so that no matter what shop/what exhaust work was done, that it would all "fit". But that's just a guess on my part.

do you know what your guy had to do to get real tips installed and centered?

I didn't. I left the factory tips in place. The X Force tips clear them by a couple of inches.
