Did mine about a year ago. Need to polish them up but figured I'd show another look. Spent 67 plus 50 to weld 'em in.

Any word if the quad-tips fit on a stock '06 TL. This looks like the A-Spec which I always thought had a bigger wrap under the bumper for the exhaust tips.

I purchased the ASPEC rear with the idea of putting on the quad tips mentioned in this thread. I also thought the cutouts would be larger in width but I measured and they are not. However, the underspoiler creates a deeper exhaust cutout, so that's why these tips look good. Base tips on the ASPEC are a little hidden for my taste. On a base bumper the quad tips would probably stick out a bit too far and look like they don't belong, IMO.

I have the tips and will have them welded on sometime before Christmas.

Just had mine installed plus the Rv6 v3 jpipe. They look great on the car with the base ASPEC lip, IMO. I was fortunate enough to get them from ebay before the crazy price hike. Although I did see a pic of them on a poster in the exhaust shop I used for the install. Maybe they can be ordered? Thanks again to Roger555 for posting this way back when!

me either.. being a college student I'm pretty tight with a budget..
All I've been able to do is LED my interior + plate lights

Was hoping to get the quad tips but the price is just being "exhausted"

I agree. I was able to get them for $119 shipped, then a few days later I read that Assured Auto hiked it to $199? Ack!

While I was getting the tips installed I was looking at a poster for Different Trend Exhaust, and it showed the tips. Don't know if they are a wholesale distributor or not, but you might try and call them up to see if they sell direct or service a shop near you.

tomlinsonj, can we get an update on this? I mean, can we get measurments of the ones you purchased please? I found a few and searched Different Trent Exhaust. Here is their link: http://dtexhaust.com/product_info.ph...ce712be1c59222

But I also found a couple pair on eBay, one set that's $30 but was not sure of the specifications/measurements of the tips so I haven't purchased them. Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=140607831128

And of course Assured Automotives out of AZ still has a pair listed for $199 on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/270314331665...witem=&vxp=mtr
but none available on their website.

Thanks for the help!

Hey Mystical-
Keep in mind that I bought the tips from Assured Auto, but I happened to see a poster in the exhaust shop for Different Trend. I don't know for sure if the tips are the same.

The tips you linked to are not the ones I have on my TL. The ones you are looking for are different for driver and passenger side applications, so when looking for an alternative vendor make sure there are two different tips available (Different Trend marks their separately like this : http://dtexhaust.com/product_info.ph...ce712be1c59222 and this: http://dtexhaust.com/product_info.ph...ce712be1c59222 ) ** DISCLAIMER ** the overall dimensions on these look right to me *except* the inlet on my Assured Auto tips are 2.25" and the ones I posted the link to are 2.50" PLUS Different Trend has not returned my emails, so buyer beware. FWIW Different Trend looks like a wholesaler so check if your exhaust shop can call and/or order from them, and investigate on your own

Good luck! This is a very worthwhile mod.

HiHenry - I think Mystical wanted the dimensions too... I just measured them, so the tips I have are 2.25" inlet diameter, 6 3/8" wide, and 9 1/4" from the base to the top slant of the longest tip.

Hope that this helps.

$199?

Crap, I was just thinking about picking them up for $119. I'll pass on them for 200 bucks though.

Is there a certain size that the exhaust tips need to be?

I see a lot of dual exhaust tips listed on ebay for like $20-40 (each).

This seller has a lot of these tips for sale in other auctions, just click on his other parts for sale. These are the same as the other pair that have gone up to $199. I have them waiting to be installed and they look amazing!

do people weld these tips on with the muffler on the car? is there room enough to weld the top half of the joint?

What is the diameter of the stock muffler piping and new tip? Do you need a coupler?
