Input on which exhaust tips to buy to replace OEM tips

Hey all

I have a 2009 TSX and would like to switch the exhaust tips to either a pair of:

s2000 tips

civic si tips (last generation)

tl tips (last generation)

Which ones do you guys think will look the best for a stock look? Thanks!

the s2k tips looked pretty good on 1st gen, but with the 2nd gen gaining some weight, im not sure how those will look.

si tips might look pretty good though.

Sounds like you want to change from a true circle exhaust tip to a more oval tip (assuming it's the last gen S2000 your talking about). Either way I'd try to test fit which ever design you choose to be sure it will have enough clearance.

I'm a fan of the s2k exhaust on an s2k, just not sure how it would fit on a TSX. If it suits your style go for it.

^i've seen it too...it's actually the same tip that's found on the v6 accord, as well. I found it to not look good as the car has circular exhaust outlets on the bumper...and with oval tips, it just looks weird.

Thats exactly what I am looking for, an oval shape rather than a circular shape as I think its not sporty enough. Thanks for the input!

Nice looking mod, subtle yet noticeable.

I noticed it the civic si is the same as the accord v6 tips but the lining inside is black compared to silver. I really think the oval fits more with the car then the circle.

I just bought some civic si tips so I will take pics for everyone too!

so true reason why i changed mine if u look the bumper cut out is oval itself i just wish the tip could be a little higher (like the IS above)
