Looks like you have an SE which Im pretty sure means you have 2 inch exhaust. So just get some tips with a 2 inch inlet. Out let doesnt matter, just go for whatever style you like.

IIRC (since I haven't had my tips off in a year, or looked at the pipe for a while) the tips coming off the muffler are 1 3/4" or so, so any universal tip should work, since they just use set screws to stay in place. I have Wal Mart tips, and I've gotten compliments on them at school and on the site.

Not the best picture, but they don't look bad. I might try getting a better picture this afternoon, since the car needs a wash, and I'll try shining those up.

Be careful if selecting screw/slip-on tips. Many are low-quality non-stainless and will rust to pieces, often taking out the stock pipe underneath too. In other words, stay away from the $10 Pepboys tips.

Yea don't buy cheap. I have cat back exhaust, and my tips alone cost $125 for the pair. They will last a lot longer.

He just wants slip-on tips for now though. I got the tips because I felt it needed some eye candy in the back, and we can't really spare the time to drop the car off and get a true exhaust welded up, plus the cash flow right now isn't really able to be used on an exhaust. I make sure to clean the tips every time the car is washed, and I scrubbed the muffler tips yesterday when I took the chrome tips off, they were just sooty.
