Could be GReddy, Blitz, or a custom job, like, as you said, just tips. If it's just tips it's nice, but you don't get any new sound of course.

My guess are those are only round angle cut tips.. BTW they look nice.. A bit too big for my taste but I still like them none-the-less..

used photoshop to change the contrast alittle, saw that the canister looks very much like stock.

I'm also guessing it's just oval tips. If it's not, that's some pretty stock-looking canister!

Default TIPS THEY ARE

I knew someone technically savvy would enhance to see the cans. You are both correct that they are, after all, Tips.

I post this because I am one of those ClubLexus members who is after the look but not the sound increase over stock exhaust. I have read numerous threads about members looking for a good upgrade/mod that doesn't increase noise - this may be the mod you are looking for to fill out that big opening and dump the pencil tips.

I have talked with the manufacturer and I can get these in straight cut, angle cut, 3", 3.5" 4" and 4.5" (shown is 4.5', angle cut). I am working to getting a group buy price, without the group buy minimum for those who are interested.

If you are, PM me so I can let the manufacturer know a rough count.

These are 304 Stainless Steel with a rolled tip and high polish. Should be about $100 for 2 tips delivered, but am working on that.

I have another set coming that are 4" and will take pictures of those once I get them. The 4.5" require welding, the 4's may not based on inlet diameter availability.
