New exhaust tips?

Has anyone changed there factory exhaust tips to bigger aftermarket ones? I am totally happy with the sound of the factory exhaust minus the resonator but i think the tips are too small and I don't want a new muffler. Anyone have pics of upgraded tips and what brand they are? Thanks

No I mean I'm happy with the exhaust sound now that the resonator is gone. I just want bigger tips now. No point in spending $600+ for a new exhaust just for new tips.

Yeah, $40 bucks a piece is a lot of money. You and your girl could have a nice dinner, bottle of wine and see a movie for that amount!

I bought some of the chrome ones off someone on M|U, the optional ones the dealer sells for like $125, for like $15...so i'd either wait for something like that, or go to a local muffler shop and see what they charge to put some on, you can probably find some take-offs from other cars there.

Not a lot of choices out there for just tips on a stock MCS. I ended up buying a universal oval tip and modifying it to mount on the stock tips. Requires some cutting and welding on the new tip but not the exhaust so the originals can still be put back on if I want.

Here's the link to the ones that I had been lookin at. Looks like the price may have gone up a bit.
