Default Replacing factory oval exhaust tips

Does anyone know if aftermarket round exhaust tips are available to replace the factory oval ones? I really like the looks of the round tips and how it fills in more of the opening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any good custom exhaust shop should be able to offer you lots of options. Here's just some of the tips mine offered, as options.

Check with some of the major aftermarket parts vendors (Ecklers, Mid-America West Coast Corvette, etc.) and see what they have to offer.

Just look for someone selling a Z06 cat back you can drop 20 lbs with the Ti and the round tips in one shot.

I have considered that option but trying to find a set that is reasonably priced and shipping has been a challenge.

Wow, that's one hell of a muffler shop and nice selection of exhaust tips. I know for a fact there isn't any muffler/exhaust shops in my area like that.

Sometimes, you just have to be willing to drive a few miles to get things done the way you want. That particular shop, Kinney's Muffler, is in the Fort Worth area, about 125 miles from me. I found them after my preferred exhaust builder in Houston retired.
Houston,Tx is about 400 miles, from here. That guy was a wizard with stainless steel.

Just doing a google search, I found quite a few custom exhaust builders, in Ohio.
