Default Exhaust tips


Hi all. Just installed these 4 inch exhaust tips and I think they look a little big. Thinking about going with 3.5 inch instead. What do you think?

Personally I think they look great. How was the install for removing the stock chrome exhaust surround?

Was not difficult. Need to remove 4 screws and 4 plastic grommets that hold the screws.

I think they look great. Can you provide a wider shot of the read end covering both exhausts? The current pic makes me think they are sized correctly.

These are 4.75 inch and I don't think they are too big either.

Thanks! Did the lower diffuser portion in between them have to come off?

What brand are these? Do they just bolt on?

these are some no name brushed stainless I picked up on the internet. The inlet is 54mm which is what LC’s stock exhaust is. Bolts right on.

I think they look odd on the car, but that's just me. You're going to get all different kind of answers with this. Maybe it's the chrome surrounds that make it look funny?

I think you nailed it. With the chrome piece blacked out/removed it flows much better IMO (not my Pic)

I purchased them on Aliexpress. Don't want to advertise the seller here as I was not too happy with the speed he shipped the tips. But the quality is excellent. I can pm you a link to the seller I bought from if you want it. There is a huge selection of different tips on that site. Make sure to get the right size - I got 54mm/101mm (2.125"/4"). Both the inlet and outlet fit snug.
Btw, I decided to go with a different set so this one will be up for sale in about 10 days. PM me if interested.
