Anybody change out just the exhaust tips? I dented one today (stupid) and before I go replace it with the same, wondered if there's anything better? They look like one nut off/on for the lexus one, are aftermarket ones as easy, or are they weld? Thx!

 

I had two that was flattened on the bottom (one worse than the other), I just took a small ball peen hammer and kept working it until it looked pretty round again. Might try that first, if you haven't already. They appear easy to change, if that doesn't work.

 

I plan on looking into replacing them also. Mine have oxidized on the back half over the years. They do LOOK easy to replace, though I doubt that it is as easy as it looks.

 

I,ve seen them on EBAY, you may luck out and find a cheap pair. Good Luck

 

They are very easy to remove, just one nut each. You can take the oxidation out of them with polish and some elbow grease. I moved my tips more towards the back of the car because the rear lip i have made the tips look tucked in so i decided to move them back and make it flush.

 

Ton of options available on Ebay, Mufflermall.com, etc. It took me 5 months to find the right tips for my RL.

 

Has anyone changed out their tips to different ones? If you did, which ones and can you take some pics?

 

They are easy to remove, just one nut each, but it will take some muscle to pull them off. I thought they may be welded on, but found out through reading a thread on this forum they are not. I replaced one of them and bought the new one from Sewells Lexus online with our club discount. If you order one from Ebay or from somewhere else online, you may have to weld them on. I have not found an after market tip that fit the same as the originals.

 

i have angled tips welded onto mine, i think they look better than stock. i had them put on when i got my whole exhaust replaced. looks similar to this:

 

I was hoping for something like that, just a bigger diameter to fill the gaps. Haven't found anything bolt on that will fit?

 

The local muffler shop didn't have anything that would work because of the small size of the pipes the tips attach to. I bought the factory tips. I haven't seen anything I like as well.

 

i think the sc2000 tips might be direct fit just like on the is250

 

I had to get piping welded on to put the S2k tips on.. the stock end piping for the SC is too big.

heres a pic when i first put them on


they are hideous from side view. Need a rear lip to cover it.

 

That looks good! How much do you think welding costs? I really want to find a bolt on alternative

 

It's hard to believe there's no direct bolt-on. I don't know the diameter of the stock pipes, but I'm sure one of these would work. Overall, I recommended waiting and getting a custom exhaust
