Default Exhaust Tips - 02 Convertible

I have been wanting to get new exhaust tips for my 02 Convertible for a while now.

Unfortunately, there dosen't seem to be much available out there or I'm not looking in right places. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

Here is a link that I found for some Borla tips, specifically the large ones at the top of the page.

It claims that they are Universal. Is there any way that I can find out if these exhaust tips will work with my stock exhaust? Thanks in advance for any and all help that you all can provide.

I'm not the exhaust tip "master" around here, but the Borla stingers lok pretty nice on the rear of a vette, I'm not sure if they're available as just a tip or not. Same thing with bullits. It's your call though, you should get what you think looks good

Here are some from Ecklers. Also, the ones you are looking at say that they have a 2 1/2 in inlet. I don't think the ones on the stock exhaust are anywhere near that size.

I have an '02 vert also, and had to get rid of my rusty tips. I had some stock C6 tips welded on, and I think they look great:

I have some round stainless tips that bolt right on to the stock outlets. Look great but don't need them as I replaced the exhaust system with a stainless set up with round outlets built in. If interested they are $50 plus shipping.

Do you want to keep your stock exhaust and just dress-up the look of the tips? Ecklers has a set of bolt on chrome tips that fit over your stock exhaust. Check ebay, you might find a set of Corsa's or Borla's there.

^^ Yea, I just don't have the cash available for a new exhaust. Maybe later, on down the line, but not right now.

I just haven't had much luck finding a variety of tips for the 01 model and above. Although, it seems as though there are alot more choices for the 97-00 models.

Thanks for all the assistance.

The Borla tips that you are lookin at will not work with stock exhaust. Those tips are for when you just have two pipes coming out the back, you have 4 small pipes on the stock exhaust. I have those Borla tips on mine, they came with the straight pipes.
