Default Dont like cheap look for stock exhaust tips! Can they be changed?

Can JUST the tips be changed without changing the whole exhaust?

I would like to change just the tips because they look too small, but My wife doesn't want the loud roar, like my borla on my '02. My '04 is still stock.

Sure they can be changed - just look at a vendor like Mid-America.

I had the Corsa Hot tips. They looked great. But then I decided to buy the rest of the exhaust. Love the Borlas.

My cat back is the original with some mods to make it into what I wanted. Like your wife,I like the quiet for long trips. I welded cutouts after the pumpkin, then cut off the quad tips, "Y"ed them together, and added 3.5" daul tips. Works for everything I want to do.

I still have a stock exhaust, but my tips were beginning to rust. I picked up some C6 stock tips cheap on eb@y and had them welded on. Looks great IMHO.
