Default Stock exhaust tip? updated w/ picture

Hi, have anyone here have change there stock exhaust tip for the bigger tip? I was thinking about to replace my stock tip. I wonder if the aftermarket tip last as long as the OEM one. If anyone do, please share your picture. I don't want to purchase a aftermarket exhaust system. Thanks guy!

Thank for the pictures. Do you have to weld the tip to the exhaust or just like OEM?

nope, i dunno bout ur oem ones but mine were jammed in pretty tight ( i have an is300)
. The Honda ones have a screw that u just have to tighten. really easy to do. fits like a glove too.

if u want something more aggressive and feeling adventurous u can try shoving the porsche turbo quad tips in there. might require some fender cutting though

Finally I went out and replaced the stock exhaust tip today. Man I were soo mad when they cut the tips. The guy who cuts the tips of the exhaust and its started to vibrate and he started to scratched my rear bumper around the tip. He seem to be don't care what he is doing. So I yell at him to stop then I spoke to the Rep. and told him have someone hold the tip so its don't vibrate and scratched more to my bumper.MAN I were lucky I were there to check that BS Technician. Hope you guys like it.

Actually they should just remove the outer tip and the new tip just go over the inner tip. But they can't removed the OEM outer tip. So they just cut the inner and outer tip so they can welded the new tip on. I think they just lazy.
