Exhaust Tips

I am planning to replace my exhaust tips on my LT1 Who has the best quality tips?   Should I get stainless steel or chrome? Thanks

Hi Wally,

Don't know which of the parts houses out there would be the best to buy from but I would lean towards going with stainless steel.  When I redid the exhaust system on "The Toy" I was on a budget and went with chrome ones.  It didn't take long for those to show that I should have spent the extra money.  But that was a number of years ago so hopefully the quality of aftermarket parts has gotten better.

Thanks Norsky

I would go with Stainless as well

worth the money

I have exhaust tips from Vibrant tips on my 68 Camaro and wish I had them on all my cars..Great sound and been on for over a year and still like new..2.5 inch aluminium pipe with 3 inch tips ..Great sound and not too expensive for SS chrome..nosal1

Sorry no pic's found in my files had some but gone now.Go to google and type in Vibrant exhaust tip and check out the SS 3" tips..Great sound...

Those look nice but the bezels for the MYs '70 through '73 should be rectangular.

I replaced the chrome tips on my 1970 20-30 years ago and they are fine, just exhaust carbon inside. I don't think the price difference at the time was significant.
