The best exhaust tips available (IMHO) are the Corsa tips - you can get them at Corvettes of Houston.

These are great quality (cheaper ones will usually have the clips breaking). I've had these for almost 7 years and they still look great.

CofH also offers complete exhaust system options.

I have been searching as well for just the tips. I like the speedway tips but it usually has a exhaust system attached to it which I don't need.

You can add on some stainless tips to your stock exhaust or you can just go and replace the mufflers and over the axle pipes. Lots of things to choose from - might want to find an owner that has changed things out and see which system you like.
