Has anyone ordered the JDM exaust tips? - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

My exhaust tips were delivered on July 2nd. It arrived quicker than my expectation of an end of July delivery. I installed it and it looks great. The tips sticks out a little bit too much for my taste though. I pushed it in snugly but there might be some wiggle room left. It is a drastic difference from the USDM tips, so I just need to get use to it.

start buying aftermarket exhaust.. so maybe in a few months via ebay
a pair of slightly used OEM tips will go for $60-80

they will probably sell the whole exhaust and not just the tips.

i already saw one for sale.

Looks like it should!

Where did you buy it? And how much did you pay?

Expensive!

ragingSPAM · 07-04-2012, 07:24 PM

yea, but if you think about it, any good "branded" muffler from lets say, apex-i, HKS, Tanabe, etc, will cost you 3-4x that price...of course sound would be dramatically different.

oh and btw those of you who don't know the inner diameter of the oem scion muffler is 86mm and the bore and stroke is 86x86mm

so there is a reason behind the tips on the scion

The tips that are offered in the thread ragingSPAM suggested is about $15 more expensive than if you bought it from japanparts.com --> I bought my tips for $165 including shipping. It took about 1-2 weeks to arrive from Japan even though the website listed 30 days as the approximate delivery date. Talk about good service. It is expensive compared to other exhaust tips. I am a sucker for authentic OEM parts.

Can you take a side view pic so we can see how far they stick out?

These are the best side view pics I have at the moment.

They really dont stick out at all, but you can mount them a bit further out if thats what you want. I just put them as far in as possible .

That looks good, I don't need them all the way out like the JDM tips, but the stock tips are buried in there, nearly invisible from the side.
