Exhaust tips for stock exhaust
so right now I have the Corsa Extreme with their X. I leave for work at 4am and never take the vette because I don’t want to wake the neighborhood. I’m thinking about putting the stock exhaust back on with the Corsa X. I love my black Corsa tips. Are there any tips available for the factory exhaust?

Both factory exhaust (base and NPP) both have the tips welded on so the only way would be to cut and weld on aftermarket tips. You could also paint the stock tips black or remove the muffler and have them powered-coated.

I get it
that's why I chose the Corsa sport system on my C7; on my C5, with those ugly oblong tips I had a professional do a circumcision (sorry, I'm Jewish) and weld on
four tips of my choice from a catalogue; looked great to the point I had people asking me what exhaust system I had added; 'bout 2 bills for some really nice tips and 50 bucks to
weld them on ('bout 12 years ago).

As mentioned, the OEM tips are welded on... Even if you cut them off, I doubt that there are any simple bolt-on options due to the spacing. Perhaps a muffler shop/welder could retrofit the Corsa tips.
Edit: I have the Corsa X-pipe and Extremes, which are louder than the Sports, and find that the volume is easily controlled with the pedal, however, there is no getting around cold start-ups. Maybe that’s your concern...

After i had my all black '18 coupe a month or so, EVERYthing else was black, so I explored many options for the polished tips; none I liked. So, I opted for simply sanding and spraying mine with 1200-degree black paint. I did so a year-and-a-half ago and they still look fine.
