...Yuuuuppp, pretty anemic looking stock exhaust tips. Hey Saxy, I'm sure someone can help you get rid of those, even finding a later year model stock catback would be a huge improvement. Are you wanting to spend a little to get something else, I know a guy that has a set, but he would probably want a few ducats for it. I'll find out for you if you like !!...

BTW... Might want to keep an eye out for some better sway bars as well, uh oh, the mod bug was biting me, shoo shoo, get away !!!!...lol

Mine looked just like that and then I found this brand new set of Corsa's on ebay for less than 1/2 the cost of new, can't remember what tip option they called this but I like the different look, I would check your local CL and ebay, lots of Corsa , Borla's etc. out there that people changed for whatever reason. BTW Got rid of the high mile Black one?

And then there is always one of my favorite quotes, " If I had a dog with a face like that, I would shave his butt and teach him to walk backwards"

If price isn't an issue American Car Craft has this beauty. And yes you should get rid of the dull looking exhaust.

This is great fellas you're giving me ideas. I see lotsa rich guys on here switchin out and stuff I'd need like something real reasonable as ducats are super thin right now. I'll watch the for sale section or pm me if there's a deal I can't turn down

My Black beauty is listed in the for sale section and the Las vegas craigslist. If I get serious I'll do local Ebay next week.

XS Power Exhaust, Halo Led Tails, Carbon Fiber ZR1 Spoiler, Exhaust Enhancer Plate. Much better than the stock look! In my opinion!

Get a nice set of aftermarket catbacks with polished tips (I'd recommend a set of Corsa's), an exhaust enhancer plate, and some LED Halo taillights. Those items will really wake up the back end of the car.

Also, some red epoxy letting for the Corvette script would look good.

Here's a pic of what my '00 pewter coupe looked like (although it has the B&B Route 66 catbacks on it).

Can wrap the fascia in vinyl. Led tails, spoiler, an exhaust if you like.

I highly recommend the XS Power over the axle system. Looks terrific and sounds great with no highway drone. $650 shipped.
