Default Replacing The Exhaust tips

Happy Belated Thanksgiving everyone! I was wondering if anyone has just replaced the square exhaust tips? I have been looking at bolt-on and or weld on tips for my convertible C8. The car is Blacked out except for the exhaust tips and frankly it's driving me nuts. Just wanting a quick fix to the square tips. Thank you for any advice.

Blessings

Corsa makes some black ones that would improve the look. But if you're going for quick/cheap--then hi-temp rattle-can black (i.e. bbq grill paint) is probably the way to go.

I don't mind spending money just not ready yet for the full exhaust system. I'll look into the Corsa tips but the square tips are not even worth rattle canning lol. I need round!

Cheers

There's also black trim you can put back there to "black out" the area around the exhaust tips.

Find a 2023+ optional black exhaust take-off in the classifieds and swap that on. You'll get a little better flow & sound in the process. You'll occasionally see them going for ~$500 in the classifieds.

It takes some planning and selecting the proper setup, but the Akropovic tips are available in many finishes, colors, inlet and outlet diameters. The logo is standard, but if unwanted, it can be deleted upon ordering that way.

There is not a C8 option. You'll have to do the research

Here is an example seller: https://thecarbahnlab.com/products/a...43212639600801

I already like it, and those aren't even the kinds of tips I'd prefer.^ I want something like C6 Z06 tips in matte black.

Nice. Those look good. But gloss. I'd be leery of anything gloss on the exterior of a C8, due to Carbon Flash not being the same. But they do look good on that c8.
