''I had the 3A tips on mine last summer and they looked great for a few weeks, but they lost some of the shine and the insides began to chip and rust after it rained a couple of times. I returned them and went for 6 months with no tips at all until I finally got some Borlas. More expensive, but polished stainless steel is definitely the way to go and they'll keep their shine for years with a lil' cleaning. I'll post some pics when I get a free minute.''


im sorry but i think you put them 3A tips the wrong way. how did water get in there.

I still cant believe he would put Autozone tips on a luxury car. To each their own I suppose.

C'mon...There are 3 screws on the end of it, how can someone put it on backwards...LOL, Actually, I should have said moisture and not rain...Probably from washing the car and moisture from the exhaust (and maybe some rain). Basically you pay for what you get...That's why you have a Lexus and not a Kia.
