My local guy wanted to charge me an arm and a leg to order 'em from J-pan. Try Z1 or Vivid. I had a little credit at Vivid and Mike got me some replacements pretty cheap. I think he got 'em from HKS USA.

Try Z1. Are the tips that bad that they need replacement?

I don't know about OP's, but mine were horrible. I had a door scratch repaired at my Nissan bodyshop. They used some type of cleaner that made the burned tips look like running paint. *****.

HKS USA sells them but they are a mint. My friend got the G37 tips installed on his (2010 NISMO) because they look better. Inside connection though....

No, they are not bad at all. Maybe a 8 or 8.5 in terms of condition, but I just wanted a fresh, perfect one, since i bought the exhaust used. I will try the shops you guys recommended, thanks. But keep the suggesstions coming :]

I called HKS about this a month ago when I had this exhaust. They said you should be able to get them from any authorized HKS dealer, (check HKS site for dealers), and MSRP is $115 per tip.

I know this is not exactly what your looking for, but these are real titanium tips that some X02 owners put on. Looks just like the HKS, maybe a little better IMO, plus there are only 60$ a tip.

Best thing to do is drill one hole on the top where it can't be seen and mount them with a rivet. That way you don't have to worry about looking at those ugly @$$ bolts.

I assure you they're not as noticable as four big bolts.

Those top speed ones are some nice tips. I used them on my knock off HKS before when one of the tips got bent. I forget which size I got but I drilled a hole on the bottom of the actual exhaust part and mounted it through the holes on the bottom of the top speed tips. Fit pretty damn good and looked way better than the ones the knock offs came with.
