Exhaust tips Sedan Liftback
Are there two different part numbers and styles for sedan and liftback? Sedan model shipped for my hatchback model shows a bent tailpipe in the instructions. My liftback clearly has a straight pipe out of the muffler. The exhaust tip is angled...

Someone here posted almost the same thing.. they were sent a sedan TRD tip for their Liftback.. fit was fine, and actually looked better on the LB! Not sure it was an "angled" tip though.
Tom, can you post a pic of which tip you have? |

Did you order from sparks by any chance?
I had the same problem with the tip that arrived last Friday for mine. I emailed Ken and he acknowledged that there was a screw up with the part number on their website. He is shipping a replacement tip to me with a return shipping label for the incorrect part. Sometimes you get a better idea of what kind of outfit you're dealing with when things don't go so smoothly. |

Same here!! Ken responded, but I am a little more than dissapointed. My order took 2 weeks from order to delivery of wrong tip. Good prices and communication but darn slow shipping from my view. |

The Sedan model has either an upward or downward pitch when installed on the LB. It doesn't look as good as in the posted pictures IMO.

I assume I'm getting the correct part Chris. Ken said he was sending it yesterday. If not then yes, I'd be willing to sell it at cost though I'm not sure you'd like it.
BTW - where in NJ are you? I'm in East Brunswick. |

I have to apologize for our lack of response to you. As far as we can tell, the email did not reach us or we just fell on our faces. We always try to respond to everyone and no one is ever obligated to keep a part that's incorrect. We did have a site problem with the part number and a slight backorder problem from the factory originally, but all of that is worked out now. I would be happy to take back your original part for a full refund or swap it out for the correct one at our expense. Please let me know what you'd like to do and we'll do our best to help. You can best reach me at ken@sparkstoyota.com or on our toll free line at 866 249-3607 from 9-5 M-F EDT Ken |

Exhaust Tip
Thank you very much for the support. It turns out that Dawn did send an email about her problem and we just missed it. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. Sorry about that Dawn.
I have the 3 correct tips here on my desk and at least 2 of them will be leaving today on Next Day Air. We'll also ship one to Dawn if she decides she wants it. Ken www.trdsparks.com |
