Default Exhaust Tips

I have an '02 coupe with stock exhaust....am interested in replacing the tips with something rounder, more "Corsa" like:

a. How hard is it to remove the stock tips (welded, yes?)?

b. Must the new ones be welded on as well?

c. Recommendations for brands/price.

Sorry, I had accidentally put this one the C6 Forum...

Thanks in advance to all.....

Eckler's and some of the other Forum vendor's here carry the Corsa Classic Exhaust Tips.

Never having used them myself though, I really can't answer your other questions. But, perhaps someone else here can.

Hope this helps.

Many of the aftermarket tips slip over the originals and are held by a set screw. I had a set of those before I changed the entire exhaust system to Corsa.

I just bought my "stock" '99 at Carlisle. The only thing I didn't like was the stock tips (black/ugly). Long-term plans are to buy a complete catback system. But until then, I decided to buy some stainless tips. While at Carlisle I stopped by West Coast Corvettes and bought their round tips. These just clip (spring steel clips) to the stock tips. I also drilled and inserted the supplied metal screws. It looks great to me. Sorry but I can't post picks until CF gets back up to speed.

I have a set of the round Corsa tips that are like new. The fit the oval stock exhaust by slipping over the ends and a set screw.
They were $119.00 new. If you want them $75 shipped.
