Default Are these Ti mufflers?

This guys is selling these mufflers and I'm not sure, but they look like Ti's. I think he thinks they are stock C5's and I could get them for cheap!!!
What do you think?

He says this is the part ##10434808ypu The tips look round and not small and oval like the stock C5? I may be wrong?
Here is another shot.

On the Tis, the word "Titanium" is embossed into each muffler as well.

Looking at the tips they look round and there is a big difference between the stock and the Ti's. Maybe it's the angle, but those tips look round to me. That's why I thought they may be Ti's. I ran the # he posted and it comes back as stock C5 mufflers. I'll pass. Thought I might be lucky and find a set of Ti's really cheap. Thanks for the info guys.

Titanium alloy has a very slight "pinkish" caste to the color. Those don't. I think you chose wisely.

The later model c5's came with the chrome tips vs just black ones on the early models.

LOL! Here is ALL you need to know

The c5 ZO5 Ti mufflers are very light compared to STOCK STEEL mufflers!!! One Ti muffler weighs 13 lbs.

The WORDS "Titanium " are EMBOSSED on the bottoms and they ARE NOT painted from the factory!!

The part number is: (see pic below)

Theses are OEM off my 02 ZO6:

Those Ti mufflers were 100% damage free and removed at 30,000 miles and shipped to CA. They were extremely light and completely rust / corrosion free.

Ti doesn't rust or corrode. It tarnishes sort of like silver does and does not need to be painted! Its also non magnetic!

Hope you don't get ripped off!!!!

Bill gets my vote as well I'm new to Corvette so still learning despite my background with cars. I'm not buying the stock ones pictured in my post, I thought perhaps the guy was clueless like myself and I would get a good deal on a pair of Ti's I like the Ti's and everything that goes along with it. I can get a nice pair of Ti's here in CA for $400. I'm close to buying them, but I'm contemplating if they are going to be too quiet. I have a stock C5 Coupe (not the Z06). My friend is running Borla Stingers and his Vert sound nice, he took the Ti's off because they were too quiet for him. Not looking to set off car alarms, but the stock exhaust doesn't work for me either. Lots to think about! I appreciate everyone's advice and help with info on the Ti's!

I added the Vararam and Ti exhaust... it isn't much louder at idle... but, it's a nice nasty growl at about 3k rpm... and at WOT it talks... not obnoxious... but, you can hear it for sure. I really like it... still considering the bypass mod on them, but, want to hear one in person before I do it.
