type-s exhaust... questions!
I recently had a fender bender in my 04 TL, i ordered 2007 TL(not type-s) parts, including rear bumper cover and tail lights. there was some miscommunication and i received type-s parts.
the body shop clearly made a mistake and offered to re-order parts and change everything for me. i decided to keep the type-s parts, cause it pretty much looks awesome.
anyway, everything looks great except the exhaust tips, obviously not meant for that bumper cover. i've already looked into the type-s exhaust, and realize its near impossible to replace only the tips.
here are my questions.
is it possible to replace only tips?
is the type-s exhaust a better performing exhaust? stainless material?? thicker pipes??
if i'm going to spend the money to purchase the type-s exhaust, what are my other options as far as after market exhausts?
thanks for the help, i appreciate any information.

HIGH-FLOW EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH CLOSE-COUPLED CATALYZERS
To reduce weight and move the engine's two primary catalytic converters as close as possible to the combustion chambers, the TL and TL Type-S exhaust manifolds are cast right into the cylinder heads. A 900-cell per-square-inch (600-cell per-square-inch in Type-S) high efficiency converter mounts directly to the exhaust port of each cylinder head for extremely rapid converter light off after the engine starts. This mounting system has the added benefit of eliminating traditional exhaust header pipes for a significant weight savings.
To ensure optimum flow and reduce backpressure, a hydroformed 2-into-1 collector pipe carries spent gases down to a 350 cell per-square-inch secondary converter under the passenger cabin.
After the catalytic converter, the TL Type-S exhaust flows through two underfloor mufflers and dual rear silencers to reduce backpressure.
The TL Type-S features an exhaust system with 14 percent better flow than the TL, with larger pipes through much of its length. Tuned for an aggressive sound befitting
the high-performance image of the Type-S, the system also features finishers with large quad outlets (two on each side).

why not just get the entire 07 exaust and bumper cover so you have it. THen if ou fel like it, get the E-Shift Pro Cats for better flow and alot of TQ and HP gains..
