Default Missing Exhaust Tip

I am missing one exhaust tip from my 2001 C5. I believe I have the stock tips but cannot be sure and even if they are I'm not sure if they are chrome, SS, or otherwise. Best I can tell they are held on by a spot weld. I visited several vendor sites but cannot seem to find one that matches. Here are two picrtures - can anyone help in identifying these tips and does anyone have one available for sale?

Those are not the stock tips. The stock ones on an '01-04 were chome and small oval in shape. Those look like Corsa tips. Look to see if there are any markings on the mufflers or on top of tips as to the brand. If they are Corsa, you may try and beg/plead with them for a replacement tip. Not sure if they will do that or not.

You were absolutely right on JD. Customer service at Corsa asked for the pictures and identified them as their tips. Problem is the new tips have the names embosed on them (these did not), so the initial suggestion was to sell me a whole new exhaust system. When I asked (via email) for two new tips (I would put them on the outside pipes) or four new ones - the response was that lining them up was very tough and needs to be done with a special fixture. I'll give them another call to see if I can get the tips. Thanks for your help.
