Default Exhaust Tips

I am looking for some nice tips to put on my 99 vert. I have the stock exhaust and cannot stand the boring tips any more. I want something a little bigger in diameter that stock, but I do not want them to stick out past the rear of the car. Any suggestions?

I would like a new exhaust, something a little louder, but the kitchen remodel is bumping the exhaust down the list.

I have a nice set of real chrome tips if you are interested. They are brand new, putting on Borla Stingers so I won't be needing them.

Get Corsa Hot Tips, they are heavy stainless steel and look chromed. They have brackets and you drill a hole (they furnish drill bit) for a screw.

No kidding on the kitchen, I thought the vette was expensive to mod.

Look at MidAmerica catalog or website. Stainless tips in 2 styles for $99.00 complete. They clip (slide on, easy install, 4 spring clips on each tip) and you can add a screw to secure, if you want.

Cheers

I have a set of Corsa Hot Tips for sale. They have small scratches on the bottom where you can’t see them from going up and down the driveway. If you get new ones, you will have the same scratches in less then a month. Asking $50 plus shipping. I can send pics if you give me your e-mail address.


Thanks,

Clayton from Las Vegas
