i'm not sure about popularity in exhaust tips, but you can find some on ebay for like $37 or you can get them at your dealer for $47. I didn't want to wait for shipping so i just bought mine at the dealer. They arei think 2.5 crome tips or soemthing like that

I got used ones for $30 shipped. I'd much rather have a real exhaust, but the stock pipes were so ugly.... It looks better, but start saving up for a real exhaust soon!

Did someone say tips?

I went with the tips too at first but they just won't sit right unless you weld them in place..... I think about two weeks later i got Borla exhaust.....

I've been running tips for about a year now and have had no problems. I'm finally getting around to putting on the Borla exhaust next week, but think my tips served their aesthetic purpose very well.

I personally like the square tips with the rolled/chamfered corners. I found a set made by Pilot. I searched high and low for them on the net and finally found them. A few days later I walked into the Autozone for some wax and there they were in the "exhaust" section. Go figure.

Definitely a good budget fix, but anyone with tuner experience can see the stock muffler and knows you're running tips - on second thought, who cares. Still to me, it looked a 200% cleaner than the stock pipes.

My tips fit fine. I was going to get exhaust eventually, but tips were a good solution to the crappy stock muffler pipes. You can get a decent set for $30-$40

funny you posted this...

I was at a fellow AZ'ers place a while back and asked him "when did you get the new exhaust?" I told him is looked sweet.... and he goes on to tell me that he bought some $6 tips at the local auto parts store. Very crafty I thought!

Since I don't plan on doing my exhaust for a while, I went to the local autoparts store and found some nice rolled tips for $10 each. I put them over the stock ones and man.... night and day! That little added accent makes the back of the car look much better - I'll post up pics when I get around to taking some.

Just go to the local autoparts store and take your pick.... easiest install ever!
