Default Exhaust tip replacement

Does anyone know the best place to find a factory stainless exhaust tip replacement? I have a 2000 so it falls into the category of 97 to 00 that are replaceable. One of the tabs on one of my tips broke so it rattles over bumps and shifts out of alignment with the others.

The only replacements I found are for all 4. Don't particularly want to spend over 100$ for 4 when I just need 1. Cant seem to find any on ebay either. Any suggestions?

I had one fall off my '98 and searched for weeks to buy just one. Couldn't find any place that sold just one. Four or none... GOOD LUCK in your search...

Update: I just remembered that I had 3 in a box that are oval shaped. I bought round ones when I lost one oval shaped tip. You can have one if this is the shape you are looking for...

I bought oval tip sets from two different vendors and both were the same diameter as my 98 flared oval tips. They weren’t wide enough to slip over the ovals.

Many years ago when I had my ‘99 I believe I bought a set of exhaust tips from Ecklers. Might want to check with them, Mid-America and West Coast Corvette.
