Any aftermarket replacement muffler tips for the stock exhaust?

Hello all,

Just wondering if there's any aftermarket replacement muffler tips for the stock exhaust. I mean the stock ones are bolted on so it's definitely replaceable. Not trying to put on any ricey coffee cans, but just want to know if there's such option. In my opinion I think it can be replaced with better looking muffler tips.

Not trying to go all out with a muffler or exhaust system. At least not yet.

Thanks...

I dont think there's any one that makes em but i know what you mean, like maybe some straight tips instead of rolled ones. Your best bet would be to just get something like the HKS rear section, that's next on my list, maybe i'll get it with my tax returns.

Yeah, I want something like sharp razor cut or something like this. It's single layer instead of the stock's "rolled ones"

I can't believe no one makes that. I mean, spending $400 bucks on a muffler is quite expensive if you don't need the sound but you want the look. I wouldn't mind paying like $20 or $30 bucks to change the tips.

Try checking with your local, reputable muffler shops. They may be able to help.

+ 1, I did this several times with my F-150 before I could find tips I really loved. It was relatively inexpensive, however, the exhaust setup was completely different.

Thanks for your replies...

Just wondering why there's no aftermarket for that? It's like the clear corner, it's just a cosmetic change. Oh wellie...

I probably won't but just not sure if I am ready for some rumbling exhaust sound yet. Still trying to keep the car in stealth mode (so far).

Do you know the muffler tip size (before the add-on tip)

I had my shop cut them off and put on nice chrome borla tips. They line up perfectly with the bumper, just like my HKS. I spent the money on it and the muffler was on the car only a week before my HKS.
