Good luck with that. I contacted a manufacturer who used to make the round tips for the C5 and they said that they were discontinued many years ago due to lack of interest.

If the major Corvette parts suppliers (WCC, Mid-America, Ecklers, Zip, Corvette Central) do not have them, it may be a challenge finding a set. Try checking with a local muffler shop too as they usually carry chrome tips - although they may not be specifically for a Corvette.
You could find yourself a nice Z06 exhaust. They have round tips and would be a nice upgrade over the EOM exhaust on the base models. I agree that you should be able to find some nice generic round tips that will fit. Pep Boys will likely have something that will work. The other option would be to reach out to your local exhaust shop. Most of them carry a wide variety of choices. Good luck with your search.
I've been looking for these for almost two years without luck. I lost one tip somewhere and wanted to replace it. I ordered a set from Corvette Central in October 2022 with a ship date 30 days later. It will be one year in 3 months and CC states that they will be shipped in December 2023. I'm not holding my breath... I've searched everywhere I could think to find these but CC is the only one that promises to get them. Ovals and semi ovals are readily available but round are difficult to impossible to find. If anyone does find a source please let those of us looking for them know.

This maybe just semantics but OE C5 tips were oval like the right side in the video photo Not round at all
They were pretty low res to begin with. Unless you're restoring a very low mile car, the time and price finding an exact copy will be more than it's worth and always be noticeable.
Any one where you can purchase round chrome C5 exhaust tips ?
I hope you are sorted by now.
if not, as proposed by other, you don’t need to go for Corvette specific tips, just find a generic tips which fit your expectations and have it welded by an exhaust shop. There are hundreds of generic tips available.
my 2 cents.

These tips are very difficult to find. There are many round tips out there for sale but few that have a 3 3/4" opening to go over the stock Corvette exhaust pipe. Anything less will not fit. As I previously posted, the only place that had them LISTED for sale is Corvette Central. I ordered them in October of 2022 and as of December 2023 they still were not available. CC is now saying availability at end of March this year, or about two weeks from now. Fortunately for me a fellow member offered me a set for free + shipping. What a deal... I lucked out.
