The exhaust tips of my 91 LS400 are the factory ones. I took them out and cleaned them but still are not to my liking. I have found these ones. What do you think-are they too much for this lady? The left is the new vs old.

From the back the new ones.

If you like them then try Walmart-$12.96 each plus tax.

mmm I'm not sure. In my opinion there a bit too much.

Luckily everyone has it's own taste :)

They're about the same size as stock but look so different. Crazy what a difference round vs oval makes.

The oem are tapered, the ones from Walmart aren't. To my mind they appear blunt in comparison. A bit larger with thicker walls/edges as well. Oem are more elegant, perhaps because the original design was right to begin with in almost every aspect of the car.

A few more thoughts on the psychology of design - the oval tapered shape of the oem tips have a similar effect to that of wider tires or lower suspension - makes the car look wider and lower. The round tips make the car look a bit taller. On the other hand, they are a bit larger, and I always thought the oem were slightly undersized.

I think I would stick with the originals. I always thought they looked pretty good.
