Default Strange Exhaust- Options Please

As the list I'm putting together grows for my "new" to me Vette. Something that's been bugging the hell out of me. I love the look of the 4 Exhaust tips dead center. When I purchased my car I knew it didn't have the 4 tips but because of the body kit. I didn't mind. Well I think I didn't but every time I get behind a vette or see you guys' pics it pisses me off. My car came with a Borla Exhaust but since I'm new to vettes and not much of a diy'er I was hoping you guys could help me out and tell me how do I get my four tips or something different than this. Waaaaa!!!!

Go to a good exhaust shop, either pick some tips there or bring with, and have them split the dual into quad tips.

You have the same tiger shark rear bumper as I have, the only tips that work that I know of are the Corsa tiger shark but custom work is always an option, good luck.

The Tiger Shark rear fascia has a smaller opening where the exhaust tips exit than an OEM fascia does so the options mentioned by nzcars33 are about it if you want a 4 tip exhaust.

I was thinking if your not sold on the look of the tiger shark rear fascia a lot of people like them and you might be able to swap your rear tiger shark fascia for a stock rear fascia with a cat-back system with the 4 tips that your looking for, so you can be creative if the funds are not available. Good luck my friend.

If a C5 came stock with the tiger shark front or rear, I would be driving something else!!

To each his own, and to say youd drive something else is a huuuugggeee stretch. especially when youre driving a car with spoiler that looks like it came off of a very early C4. The only difference between your car and this one is that its red. Pretty weak to knock cars. When you live in uber glass house, you should never throw stones or in your case pebbles..

Hey Vertigo, I love the look of your car.. I want to eventually do something like you did. You gave me the inspiritation. Since my Vert is black I was looking at doing something kind of opposite. Could you send me some pictures of your car?. I want to do the rear fascia, skirts ( I dont currently have but will get ), and front splitter, ( dont have that yet either), in red. Then my hood creatively done in red, similar to what you did.. awesome looking car Man!

Id put mine and NZCARS33 side by side against yours all day long. Your car wouldn't even get noticed. Well not by car guys who appreciate someone taking the time and money to modify their cars. I can appreciate someone who goes the extra mile even if it isnt my taste..

Please Man, just say its not your cup of tea but that you wouldnt take it..

Wow, I'm 11 again.. hahaha

Then you wouldn't like this view either.

I tried my best to post 2 Tiger Sharks and one basically stock C5 with a 1985 spoiler.

Let's see. One of these things is doing their own thing,
One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?


Those are 2 bad sharks and one not so special. Nice but nothing special.

im not a huge fan of the tiger shark kits either (look too Japanese/rx7 for me) but this is just entirely unnecessary to the thread. He didn't ask for opinions, he asked for advice on how to get quad tips.

To the OP, I too love the quad tip exhaust, however I like the oem look with a gap between the two sets of tips. Custom work to get duals is going to be needed for you though, shouldn't be hard with a good welder though!
