Default Question about exhaust tips

i was looking to buy some exhaust tips for my vette. I dont have much knowledge about these parts but love the way they look. I went to borlas website and pressed on the tips, but it doesent ask me about what kind of car i have or anything, it simplys shows a bunch of different tips.

http://www.borla.com/products/polished_tips.aspx

are all these tips like standard and work on all cars? or will they not fit on the vette?
also what type of tips if not these would you guys recommend? if you post the links or whatever it would be appreciated

thanks a lot guys

Exhaust tips are not a simple exchange. You need to know the pipe diameter of the muffler exit, the length of the tip you want, the material of the tip, the constuction of the tip and how the tip attaches to the muffler.

Hint; a good 2.0" in 4.0" out Stainless Steel rolled tip can cost over $125.00 each. You would have to cut off your old tip and weld on the the new.
