Don't bother trying to find a tip, just grab the whole insert from Sewell Lexus. You may have backed into something but failed to realize it. Happened to me, those tips are just tack welded on and are fragile.

This happened to me on my 09. I ended up getting it replaced for free from my Lexus dealer.

The tack welds are extremely fragile as mentioned above. I actually had more welds added to mine after having seen a number of other member's posts regarding their tips falling off. Just something to consider as a preventative measure.

I have the tip from my current car , it happened to me too and I bought a whole assy , install it and few month after the other side gave one up decided to weld exhaust tips on the muffler like greedy or iss forged exhausts and the results are great , the car looks like it has iss forged on but I don't is a racing look w no exhaust note and best of all everything was cheaper than the diffuser it self and it wil never fall! if you need a ring to weld it to your diffuser pm ill sell it
