i know this has probably been discussed before, but using the search doesn't really help (too many threads on it) so here's my question. Is the 03 4Runner's chrome tip the same as the GX470's? I don't want to spend $80 for a tip, and the tip for a 4Runner is only $55. Please advice. Thanx in advance.

It's the same tip by valor, and cost $55 here as well.

Easy to install, but i felt the 'cool' impact not so fulfilling, since gx is'nt dual exhaust.

The single chrome tip as is just gives an unbalanced look from the rear. Thats no doubt why Lexus paints the standard tailpipe black, so when viewed from the rear, it blends in with the undercarriage.
ok the "cool" impact isn't great, but here's a food for thought. Every honda (well at least in my city ) all come STANDARD with Chrome Exhaust Tips. Geez, even my dad's 97 odyssey has a chrome tip, and i never knew about it until i started understanding cars ( i was like 8 or 9 years old when the odyssey was brand new). So that's what makes me motivated to get one for my GX. I'm not the kind of person that does major mods but a chrome tip and some illegal 35% front tints will work for me.

you can get black chrome ones... like the one i have.. and it blends perfectly... infact mine is not the regular shape... its slightly different and looks very sporty.
