My tips are Magnaflow also, I forgot which ones but they are straight. My Lexus HKS exhaust were bent when I got them used. The tips are not cheap, I think about $60 each and $80 to weld them. It's easier to cut the existing tips completely flush with muffler and weld on the new ones to the mufflers.

I'll have to take a look at your tip setup sometime.

In your opinion would it be a decent visual upgrade to OEM duals (ignoring the somewhat high cost)?

I think if you upgraded yours with GFX tips they should be very nice except they might stick out a little. Definitely cheaper route. I actually don't like mine straight anymore. I like the guy posted above with angle cut on bottom like this one. Mine is similar but straight.

I like that angle cut, looks the way it's supposed to.

How much does it cost to install new tips? I am thinking of getting Magnaflow tips, either the rolled oblong round-angle or some dual tips, or maybe even the Tanabe style round on my GS460.
