Aftermarket exhaust replace tips
Hello everybody I have a general question some of the more knowledgables might want to help me on, I bought a c5 z06 a couple weeks back with a number of aftermarket mods already on it, including a bassani exhaust system, I like the way the exhaust system sounds, but when the previous owner had the exhaust switched, he chose the system with dual "kidney" shaped exhaust tips, wich aren't terrible but id much rather have some fat quad tips, so my question is, is there any way I can just change out the tips without having to get a completely new exhaust system?

unless your tips are able to be unbolted the only thing i can think of would be to have different tips welded on... pics of your system might also help

I'm sure a good muffler shop could fabricate something up for you.

Going from a twin tip to quads should be as easy as finding a good set of Split-tips. I did the other way around from quad to dual which was much more of a pain.
A good exhaust shop should be able to do the job, but they'll need to keep the exhaust on the car to line up the tips correctly (at least to tack them into place) then bring down the exhaust completely to finish the job. If it's a stainless system, make sure the shop has a TIG welder and a guy who knows how to use it well.

So sounds like I just need to find an exhaust shop to swap the tips? Also I went and took a picture of my exhaust and it looks like the tips are clamped on? Ill see if I can upload the picture
