your new ones look better! I like the quad oval look better, they match the shape of the taillights, I think that looks good on a vette.

Size wise I can't tell you, I could go out and measure. They're large. Not sure what they are exactly the last owner told me the car had Ti exhaust and the tips were a custom set. I found another set like them in Wisconsin, but other than that.... The next time I saw what I thought were those was in the ecklers catalouge listed as Daytona tips I believe.

I'm not sure if it's Ti, exhaust, either, to be honest. It sounds like no corvette I've ever heard... It's a bit more, bubbly. It's nice, for sure, very unique. I'll try to get a video of it sometime here. As for more pics, I have a couple more:

Here
And Here.
and Finally here.
