LOL, some people really don't see it as others do. Just look around (esp Walmart) and check out how some people dress...forget about how their car looks. I think they are missing a gene or two IMHO.

If I was buying a Vette and came across this one I would just walk away from the whole deal because it shows me that he probably neglected everything else on the car.

Well, maybe he is just trying to showcase the various styles of exhaust tips you could get on the C5 over the years.

Meh...means nothing, maybe it just fell off. The car is dirty, mine gets that way as I drive it a lot and can't wash it at home. I would not make a judgement about this person or the condition of their car from one pic.

They could wash it and put on new cat back and people on here would be raving about how nice a car it is from just a few pics.

Looks like a mix of Z06 and stock tips, not my choice but I've seen worse mods on here.

Ps. To OP If it was me I would edit out the persons tag number, they might not appreciate you posting it.

My guess is an owner added different tips on the outside only for a different look (and it probably looked almost OK). Left tip falls off...

I like 'Big Tips', but nothing fell off here, rather 'on'.

some people just dont care about there car until they go to sell it. I would never touch this car based on that exhaust. If the owner did not care to put the proper tips then he didnt care to change the oil at its proper time, didnt use the proper oil, didnt do anything decend throughout the car. the owner can break or make a car. this guy broke his.

I like big tips and I cannot lie
You other C5s can't deny
That when a car rolls in with an itty bitty cam
And a rumble in your face

(Someone else write the next verse...)

I genuinely had no idea there was an exhaust version of a redneck smile... Let's hope that whoever owns the poor thing just had a really bad day and backed into a curb or something. Still wouldn't explain whatever is going on with that right tip...

Wow..... all that from a picyou guys really know your stuff

I agree it looks bad, but many people do awful looking mods, how do you equate that to improper oil changes?

Well simple math...if a guy doesn't look after the exterior (that is READILY apparent) why would they look after the interior? You tell me. PS that exhaust is not a mod it is NEGLECT!
