Default Stock Exhaust Tips

My sotck exhuast tips are strting to lose theur fake chrome polish. Starting to see some black underneath the fake chrome.

So, Should I get a new system? The cops in my area are starting to crakc down on loud exhausts. I live in an area, in the country, where the cops have nothing better to do, but mess with you.

Or, should I just change the stock tips?

Any ideas on how to take off the tips, by myslef???

THanks

The stock tips are tack welded to the pipe. You'll need to grind the weld off to remove them. Several Aftermarket tips are available or pick up a used Z06 system, which won't add a lot of noise and look great!
