I finally picked up some new exhaust tips to replace my "temporary" tips I put on years ago when I did my swap. I don't think anyone else posted pics of the C6 tips on a Fiero yet so here they are if you wanted to see them. I'm in process now while I post these. When I'm done I'll post more and better pics.

One in place...



Compare old resonator tips, new stainless steel...


More pics in a little while!

I ran outta time, gotta go to work! I had to take part of my exhast system out to weld the tips on and just ran out of time, I'll put it all on tomorrow morning and post some pics then.

Changed the sound of the 3.5 a little by removing the old resonators.

I think I'm liking it.

I really like the look of them.
Do you have any pictures of the full car? I really like the paint.

Are they quieter? Like the looks. My 3800SC is a little too loud for me & I haven't decided what to put on yet.

I never put a muffler on the 3.5 so the tips are all its got for sound suppression. The new tips are resonated and have stainless steel "wool" in them. But they are not as quiet as the first tips I had. I don't think these tips do much at all for sound suppression? I need to drive the car to see if they are going to be to loud.

The inlet is 2" and the outer diam is 3" with .5 thick walls. So the actual holes are 2" outlets.

I think thats most likely due to the outlet size ..it seems like your original tips would induce more velocity and pressure on the sound deadening components being smaller in diameter
I hope they at least somewhat quiet my high velocity exhaust system I am "designing" to sound higher in frequency

Why would you want quieter? I try to make my Fiero louder.

Finished! They look much better than the old ones, and the car sounds different now, definitely louder now just driving up and down the street. Can't wait to hear it at WOT.

Ready to go in...


Done..








I bought these off a friend who took them off his Vette, usually they are on ebay or someone was selling some in the mall. I got mine for $50.

Are those stock C6 or Corsa? I mentally picked out the Corsa tips two years ago, but you don't get kudos, for phototips.

Stock C6. I think the guy took them off to put on a Corsa system. The stock mufflers are the size of 10 gal. trash cans
