these wald tips are absolutely bigger than the stock ones. in fact, the tips fill out my rear lip perfectly. you'll see that when i post the pics up later tonight.

thx. you are correct in your assessment. the only reason why i went with tips instead of aftermarket exhaust is because my GS is a hybrid, and i want to maintain the hybrid quietness. it defeats the purpose of a hybrid (imho) if you add a tanabe or hks exhaust. and don't forget that the GSh is a CVT tranny, which means the aftermarket exhaust note will be continuous (if anyone has seen/heard the modded GSh in the targa newfoundland youtube video, you'll know what i mean). i ordered my tips from SR Auto Group (http://www.srautogroup.com/)
Nice. I also like these magnaflow tips. The dark chrome finish would look great on a black GS and the oblong shape matches the cutout on the stock bumper. However they don't have a bolt-on design. I guess that means they would have to be welded.
Why get bigger tips? Clearly the fashion trend these days is going towards this:
I saw one parked outside my condo today, and I had to do a double take at the exhaust on that thing. Kind of unrelated but it's interesting to see that Fords are starting to look a lot less cheapish in design these days. I'll never buy another Ford myself, as my first car was a Ford and I think it scarred me for life. I'll also never forget when my friend's mustang's engine blew and the drivers seat collapsed simultaneously.

i considered those but in the end decided against them.

because small tips don't look good if you have a lip kit (or a full bumper kit) installed. if i had wanted smaller tips, i would stayed with the stock tips.

storm - glad you made your decision. they look great! i do agree wth ek9vboi though, just a little too 'closed in' at the tip for my personal taste. glad you are happy though.
