The tips are different in the United States to meet Federal Safety Standards with regards to front and rear bumper.
Per U.S. CFR § 581.5:
When impacted by a pendulum-type device at 2.5 m.p.h. followed by an impact into a fixed barrier longitudinally rearward at 2.5 m.p.h., the vehicle's exhaust system shall have no leaks or constrictions.
