Muffler question
Need advice from the community. Got my 03 EB coupe last year with the Z06 muffler installed and the factory muffler. I decided to do the bypass mod on the factory muffler in case I didn’t like the sound, I could go back to the Z06 one.
Well i really like the sound of the bypass but hate the exhaust tips of the factory muffler. Here are my options:
1. Get new tips welded on to the factory muffler
2. Bypass the titanium set and sell the bypassed factory set. Any idea how much I can sell the factory bypassed set for?
Thoughts from the community?

Maybe where you are there is a market for the stock mufflers with the bypass mod. Here in the Pacific Northwest there are too many people who have installed Borla or Corsa systems looking to give away their stock systems for free. Titanium systems have high resale value and demand. Selling the titanium mufflers would probably pay for everything you want done and what you paid to have the bypass system installed.

ti sets are desireable, but not going for crazy money. typically in the $400-$600 range.
The stock system -- I couldn't give mine away 10 years ago. highly unlikely you'll be able to sell it for anything.

If you like the bypassed stock system, swap the tips. Easy to find tips and have a local muffler shop weld them. Stock bypassed will not sound the same as Ti bypassed. So if you like the stock setup, stick to that.
You will be spending a couple hundred on bypassing the Ti system and need to find someone that can weld Ti.

I ended up putting my old stock system out for bulk trash pickup last time.
