What's your opinion on Exhaust Tips?
I was wondering what your guy's opinions were about different styles of exhaust tips. Dual tip? or single? I don't have the money for a full-on exhaust system, but the exhaust tips add a nice look to the car. I was just trying to see what kinds would look good on my 08 LB (I know it is personal preference, but maybe I can get some ideas from seeing yours). Post pics if you got em! Thanks!

If you don't want to spend much on a full exhaust system, then the tips are good alternatives. They look nice and don't make farting noises.
Just a quick question though. Are these exhaust tips "universal"? I've seen a couple of decent looking ones at places like PepBoys, AutoZone and Checker's Auto parts, but wasn't sure if they'd fit over the twig-like exhaust pipe on the Yaris. |

I'm not sure if they are universal or not, that is why I want to see what other people did. |

I got the toyota one and it mounted with a stainless steel hose clamp. I would say "most" are universal. The Yaris has a small stock tailpipe.

I've also seen people advise that you drill a hole on the underside of the tip so that water doesn't pool up inside it and cause it to rust / corrode. The universal ones at those local auto stores are pretty cheap compared to the Toyota branded tip and they look decent enough.
Anyone know if these exhaust tips really are universal (ie. just slide and bolt on)? |

most are universal as Bob stated, they come with an adjustable semi-circular clamp that is inside of the tip

while it sounds good in theory, drilling a hole in machined metal will create another impurity for oxidation/rust to occur. if it's stainless steel, you shouldn't have to worry about rust for a long time.

Remember that there is significant heat there even at the tip so water should be "cooked" away.
Do not get a tip that uses set screws at 3 or 4 points..... they do not last as long as a hose clamp

I have the genuine Toyota one for the Yaris hatchback. Its actually made by Borla. It is oval shaped with an angular cut, that matches the slope of the rear bumper. It clamps with a stainless steel hose clamp, no drilling, or screws to puncture the tail pipe. Makes the back end look a bit like a Mini Cooper.

It was regularly $90, but I got a discount and paid $70. Still pricey though. Its really good quality.

I can post a pic of it on the car if you like. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. My wife, who doesn't notice any of the things I do to pimp my Yaris, noticed the exhaust tip right away and said it looks great.
