Default New exhaust tips

Thought I'd share a couple pics...picked up a used set of exhaust tips for the LS. I need to get a longer bolt to secure these today, but here's a test fit pic.

Mine are 2nd gen S2000 (AP2) exhaust tips. Found a local S2k owner to sell them to me for $40.

I believe the new Honda Civic Si and even Honda Accord have similar exhaust tips.

Yes. The OEM exhaust tips are compression fit, you just have to wiggle them off w/ a bit of force. The AP2 exhaust tips have a 10mm bolt on the bottom, which applies pressure to the dinky oem exhaust pipe to secure itself.

A lot of the ISx50 guys get these exhaust tips, which is where I got the idea from.

After searching on google these tips seem to be really sought after and can be hard to come by.

I just bought a used set from ebay for $100.
