Default GS400 Exhaust Tips--Crusty & Rusty
My tips on my GS400 are nasty, whats the hot tip on replacing the tips? Do you have to replace the whole muffler? Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks man...I've actually bought quite a bit from Ebay...searched for GS400 tips and came up with nothing. Is there a difference between GS3 and GS4 exhaust? Cuz that listing says GS300 only.

Those aren't OEM.

OP, just wetsand and polish your tips. That's what I did.

OP never specified that he wanted OEM. He just said he wanted to know how to replace them and where to get new ones. But now that you mentioned wet sanding that is a much better option.

That pricing is ridiculous, especially when you're only buying one tip at that price.

tell me about it. I agree with you at the wet sending. Just giving him options since now he says he wants to keep OEM look.
