Are NPP and Z06 exhaust tips same size.
I know the Z06 exhaust tips are larger than the stock C6 tips. Are they larger than the optional npp tips?

Same size. When I bought my 08 LS3 I would not have ordered the NPP option if they were not the same size.

I do like the look of the perforated tips on the NPP.

That is incorrect on C6
C6 ZO6 exhaust tips are 4 inch diameter
C6 NPP are 3.5 inch

talon90,
You are highly respected and appreciated. From hands on experience, this is what I found...
I purchased C6 Z06 mufflers to replace the C6 NPP mufflers. Z06 tips were 4 inch and the NPP tips were 3.5 inch.
Hope this is helpful.

Other than the fact you're answering a question that was asked 6 Years ago, you need to re-measure.
My Z and NPP tips are the exact same size. The only 4" tips I've ever seen are aftermarket mufflers like Akropovic.

My non-perforated earlier Z06 tips are 3.5" OD. The later Z06 mufflers and tips were the same as the NPP ones, but used a 3" over-the-axle pipe vs a 2.5". IIRC the change came in the '11 MY.

In 2011, GM changed the Z06 exhaust to perforated tips and solid by-pass pipe. They also changed the mid pipe from "H" to "X" and the exhaust is louder.
