Default Single exhaust tips...anyone try it? pics?

Curious to know if anyone has done the single tip look. Any good pics out there? What size tips would be necessary to fill the openning? Thanks

Thanks Lou. Not as good as I thought...kinda just whatever...not bad, but I guess the stacked tips work better.

I don't think Tanabe ever brought their exhaust to production.

In my opinion, the best looking exhaust for the F belongs to ISS.

Along with looking better, the OEM Exhaust Diffusers actually serve a purpose as well..

personally, the quad diffusers look very stylish IMO. its something unlike we had seen, and of course it was bashed for being different. but i believe ferrari incorporated something quite similar in one of their models, yet no bash. its unique, purposeful, and innovative from a visual perspective.

+1 I totally agree with your post. I think that there are some that can't give Japanese (Asian) auto makers their due when it comes to design and performace. If it ain't German or Italian than it's just a copy or tacky...No fanboy here, as i have owned and still own an Audi and love German cars but also having had owned (and currently own) Japanese cars are Unique and groundbreaking in their own way.

My highlight of the morning is going up to the garage door (detached garage), flicking on the remote and watching those sexy quads peek out to the sun as the door slides upwards.

It is a glorious thing.
