Default Changing Borla Exhaust Tips

I'm content with the quad intercooled tips on my Borla catback for now, but I really like the way the dual oval tips look, like the ones that can come with GMMG, on Formulas and Trans Ams. Does anyone know if it is possible to change the tips on the Borla system to those style tips?

Unless the tips are welded on you should have no issues removing. IF they are you could have them cut off, and take the new ones to a good exhaust shop and have them weld back on the part that got cut and maybe consider them realigning the tips at the same time.

If they are indeed welded you have two options; cut them off and weld or clamp the new ones on, although you may have to add some pipe too as cutting the old ones off will take some away; or disconnect the tail pipes at the muffler and replace the whole tail pipe with the new tips.
