I dont really want to mess with the exhaust, I like the sound, could settle for a little louder, but can you upgrade to bigger tips easily? or maybe just muffler and tips?

You could always look into doing the "bypass" mod with your stock set up. The car stays quiet at cruising and idle, but at WOT it gives you more sound. I like the stock Ti set up on my C5Z, but I may look into the bypass mod myself at some point.

Do a search for it, there's quite a few threads on it. It's fairly inexpensive since it's just two pieces of exhaust tubing, and some welding done at you local muffler shop.
