just find a tip thats. like i think 2.25 inlet and what ever out let u want. prolly gonna be like a 3 in out let. but a 2.25 is what i believe the diameter of ur tail pipe. just find one of that size in let.

An LS has like a 1.50" tailpipe

It's worthy of a Honda engine.

Wow you guys are misleading this guy like crazy...

The $10 tip at autozone is gunna rust in the rain and snow in like 3 minutes. I had one on my car already.

Get a 304 Stainless Steel tip and pay the $65, that way you never have to worry about replacing it. Do it right the first time? You get what you pay for?

you can get the stock tips that came on 2.4s and ss's on here for cheap i saw a guy selling 2 for 20 bucks each

then have a muffler shop weld it on.. if they have an expander itll be cheap

i couldnt afford a full exhaust when I had my LT so i just got a flowmaster muffler put on. That way you get a ncie sound and a tip. Also it doesnt look like a big ball sack under ur car from the rear. That stock muffler is hugee.

just saying. Its alot cheaper then full exaust and u get sound + looks. Just dont get a fart can muffler PLZ

Not true.. i guess it depends on weather conditions in ur area because i have that exact same tip that the OP wants and i got it from the Chevy Parts Dept here in Phx.. my friend who works there slipped it to me for free.. :lol:

i live in AZ.. no rust.. been through rain, car washes, puddles, etc. and no rust as of yet.

again, i think it depends on the weather conditions on your area.

Yeah I got a tip from the local shop for like $10 as a gift for getting my car. It's technically my first "mod". lol Way before I got into it.

Honestly I dont know exactly what model flowmaster he put on. I brought my car t a muffler shop and said that I wanted flowmaster, and the only question I got was "so you want it to be loud but not canny sounding right?" and I said "yea" and then he said "want an angle cut chrome tip...youll have to wax it so it dont rust" and i was like "...hell yea" and I wound up with this:

^Car sounded awsome. New car is fast as fuck but I still miss that sound

i bought these one http://carccessory.com/product.asp?key=Exhaust_Tip_ the ex-2001 for my LS and is ok, if u don't wanna see that ugly stock exhaust that looks like a straw.. but my recommendation. go for the real exhaust..
