    tips can be replaced, but its a bear getting the stock ones off. have fun with it.

    i was never a giant fan of painting engine bay stuff, but go for it. just dont overdo it.

    You could purchase some new tips off of Ebay or from an exhaust shop, have the old ones cut and have the new ones welded on. A buddy did mine for 20 bucks.

    Thanks, I was thinking of just cutting the tips until the summertime and then getting the whole muffler system changed. Any suggestions on the tips I should get GDP
    EBay?

    And I'm thinking of just keeping the engine clean and not painting it.

    Depends on what your looking for. I say go to your local exhaust shop and get eyes-on a couple of your choice to get a price range. I prefer seeing things in person rather than ebay-ing...

    It looks like they're not even on properly... That should be your first concern.
