Default AP2 Exhaust Tips Welded on Fsport Exhaust or Lexus HKS Exhaust

i love the look of the AP2 exhaust and i love the sound of fsport and the lexus hks exhaust, i was thinking of welding the tips onto the exhaust, are there any downsides to doing this? just wanted to get an input before i do it

You can do it if you wanted to. The civic crowd has an obsession of welding their stock tip to their new exhaust. I don't see a problem here. you just cut the old tip off. any "custom" shop can do this for you.

ok awesome, i jsut wanted to make sure it doesnt damage or make the exhaust any less than it is if i did cut off the original tips, the tips on the fsport is nice but not as appealing as the ap2 tips

Any updates on this mod? I'm wondering what my options are for changing the tips on my HKS Hi Power coffee cans. I've searched without any success...
