How to change exhaust tips on Toyota Highlander

Exhaust Tips is the cap that should be attached to the exhaust system. It is used for the system because the built-in exhaust system pipe is not changeable. If you are using it without tips then smoke can damage your exhaust system pipe. By using an exhaust tip you can decrease the damage to this system. Here you can find the installation of the exhaust tips step by step.

Step 1 - Make sure your exhaust tips will fit the diameter of your tailpipes. Sometimes you’ll be able to choose the right option for your year, make and model car, but especially if you have an aftermarket system installed, you’ll want to measure yourself.

Step 2 - Check that you have proper clearance from your bumper cutouts. If you don’t, you’ll either need to buy smaller tips or modify your bumper. If you have dual exhaust tips, check both sides. They should be the same, but you’ll want to double-check.

Step 3 - Using WD-40, lube up your exhaust tips and fit them onto the tailpipe. Your vehicle should be cold when you do this, otherwise, you’ll run into fit problems, not to mention third-degree burns.

Step 4 - Either tighten the screws or weld on your tips. If you’re using a screw-in exhaust tip, come back in a few weeks and re-tighten. This is the way you can install your exhaust tips.
