Got the Borla Tips installed today. Thanks DrewGS4 for the hook-up. IMO, this is a relatively an inexpensive "mod" to improve the overall look. I think it looks pretty good, at least more aggressive than the stock tips.

I know some of you will ask why "tips", why not the whole exhaust. Well, I did have the GReddy cat backs on my car for a total of ONE day. It was just too loud for me and it seem to have lost some low-end power. I was told doing other mods (i.e. Intake) would fix the low-end power lost problem. I do not plan on making any engine mods anytime soon, so the Tips are more ideal for me. I don't race much, because I have my daughter with me most of the time, so performance isn't a big issue. I just wanted a more aggressive look.

they looks really nice man. but they looks too round for me. i want something more oval like out stock exhaust. but its your car. hey how much you get the greddy for anyways. and what did you do with ti?

 

did you ever consider Magnaflow? they sound great on my car.....not to loud.

 

The GReddy was real expensive. I think it was around $900. I'm holding it for someone right now. He trying to save up for it. Actually, I'm not sure if the deal is gonna go throught. Why, are you interested?

Magnaflows? Well, I sort of look into to it. But I didn't want to have the same problems as I did with the GReddy. Maybe when I'd need to replace my exhaust, I will probably go with the Magnaflows. (There's a small tear/rip on one of my exhaust (canister). I had it checked at Lexus dealership and they said it's still useable. But eventually I will need to replace it.)

 

These are the Large Oval Borla Tips. But you're right, Jmai. In these pics, the Tips do look more round on my car (1st gen) than they do on the newer GS.

 

they still look good kts.. even they are a little too round......

what did they cost ??...... and are there smaller ones ??

thx

yezzzzzzz

 

KTS. i also have the first generation GS. mine are eggshaped. not round at all.

 

Blue Wax, you can PM DrewGS4 if you're interested. I know there is a smaller oval tip but I think DrewGS4 only has the large ones. PM him.

Are you talking about you're stock tips? Yeah, they're OK but I wanted a change.

 

I meant that I've seen pics of these Oval Borla Tips on the newer GS's and they look oval, not round(ish) like on my car. Strange, huh?

Of course I know you have the first generation GS, bro! Remember, I was the one who came to you for help on clearing out the corners.

 

LOL. i knew your car looked familar. not very many first GEN. GS around. i really gotta get a digi cam.

 

Hurry up with the digicam, Jmai. I want to see how your car looks like with the clear corners, your cleared tail-lights, HID, sound system....etc.

 

Me too!!

BTW I like the round tips...here are a couple shots of mine with the Tanabe Hyper Medallion. Its not obnoxious loud or ricey. It sounds deep with a snarl that sounds like a V-8 Camaro. I didn't lose any thing power-wise, but I don't think I gained either. But it sure looks good with those 115mm tips sticking out the back...

These were taken before the Aristo Tailpiece was installed and the emblems shaved.
