Talking New '02 Z28 Owner

Hello all. Just picked up my baby a few months ago. My current financial situation is restricting me from performing any real expensive mods right now, but I'm trying to do what I can within my budget.

I've thrown in a Pro 5.0 already with a short throw arm on it and installed the skip shift eliminator. The next thing I want to do is install some after-market exhaust tips. I can't afford to convert the entire exhaust system right now. All I really want to do is change out the factory tips because I simply don't like the way they look.

My question is, what do I have to do in order to do this? Forgive the noobishness of the question. I'm new to the enthusiast game. In fact, this is the first car I've ever owned myself. From what I can tell, the tips can't simply be unbolted. Do I have to hack them off and weld in the new ones? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

Here's a picture of my Z28:

Welcome to the site!

Yes, hack off the old ones and weld some new ones on.

Pictures aren't working. [img] [/img] are the tags you want to use.
I cut/paste the links into another browser. Nice looking car!

Ok, I see you just fixed it...nice!

Unless your stockers are clamped on....I should say...then you can just use clamps on the new ones.
