Exhaust Tip Help
I need some help to understand my options with an exhaust tip problem.
ISSUE: I lost one of my stock exhaust tips last night and I'm not sure if I can put any type of tip on for a replacement. Since I have to buy two I really would like to replace them with chrome or stainless steel tips.
CAUSE: It appears to me that the previous owner put on flowmaster mufflers and u-clamp/weld the original tips back on. The exhaust tip had slight impact about a year ago that caused the tip to break at some weak spots on the weld and over time the tip became loose.
CURRENT CONDITION: I still have the short extension pipe out of the back of the muffler (U-clap still in place) so it appears it is just the tip itself that needs to be replaced.
REPLACEMENT TIPS: Can I use any aftermarket tip? Is there anything I need to look for based on my model and year? Any suggestions on where to find quality after market tips? New vs. Used?
INSTALLATION: How easy/difficult is it to replace tips? Special tools?

Get any tips you want like he said and have them welded on at a shop.
