Let's keep it simple, I want to change out my exhaust tips.
I'm in Los Angeles, more specifically Santa Monica. Can someone point me to where I can buy larger tips only and change them out. Local or online?
Thanks.

Here's an alternative...Just check at any local auto parts store. |

Other than "'cause they are JDM" what makes these tips better than ones you can buy down at the auto parts store for a tenth of the price?
Not trying to be smart, just really curious. I've modded a lot of US cars, but never really did much to my Toyotas or Hondas in the past. |

And then from what I understand, I can just remove the current ones myself, and install these. They are held in place by a single removable bolt right? Theres a shop on Lincoln called sport muffler and performance. I will stop by after work today, and see if they have anything.

What's the OD of the exhaust pipe once the original tip is removed? Haven't seen it posted in any of the threads. 1 inch?

Here are pics: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...18&postcount=9 Edit: I also wanted to add, Agency Power Exhaust note is PURE S E X ! It sounds so freaking good, I sometimes go in and watch the video again.... I am just in a point in my life I cannot be spending money paying a car and also modifying it. But I knew that coming in and I'm extremely happy at the car I bought. Just wanted to make clear that I do LOVE what the aftermarket community is doing and look forward to all the mods and how all of your cars sound/look/perform.

Also consider a lubricating spray or something in case the bolt is locked up in there. I had both my 10mm bolts break and leave me unable to take it off, and this has happened to another member on here.
I'll be drilling the busted bolts out next week but it's annoying.
