Red face 2001 Cadillac DeVille DHS chrome exhaust tips

Remove this ad
Greetings fellow enthusiasts.

I'm not quite sure if this is the proper forum to pose this question; but here it is nonetheless.

Has anyone ever replaced the "factory" chrome exhaust tips on their 01'-05' DeVille? The factory units are two eliptical outlets that converge into one before progressing back to the muffler.

I would like to replace mine with nice round - or more preferably rectangular units. I think visually it would look better; as to me the factory pieces are on the small side. I also plan to swap the factory mufflers with Flowmaster units (not sure what model yet - perhaps "40" series Delta flow - any comments??).

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Re: 2001 Cadillac DeVille DHS chrome exhaust tips

Flowmasters can be kinda "rude" sounding. CORSA makes a good cat-back system, including mufflers and tips with a sound that is mellow at low speed, but opens up with a growl when you stomp the go pedal. Go to their website and have a peak. They'll sell you just the tips, if that's the look you want (more rounded with a slight slash cut), but for rectangular ones, some of the older Camaro rectangular tips have been installed on your vintage of Caddy.

Go to Cardomain and look up the 2000-05 Devilles to get an idea of what looks good to you

Just look at Hitmoney's car. He has the Corsa system and loves it.

Re: 2001 Cadillac DeVille DHS chrome exhaust tips

Frost/Codewize: Thanks for the quick feed back. I did see a few cars here with CORSA set ups; looks very interesting - although I really dont like the CORSA exhaust tips. I guess the tips will one of those "I'll know it when I see it" scenarios as far as finding something that really stands out for me.

My DHS has a slight "growl" when I get on it; but thats about it. I'd like to unlock some of that growl just a bit more (but not TOO much).

Re: 2001 Cadillac DeVille DHS chrome exhaust tips

I didnt think i was going to like the Corsa tips either, but once on the car I loved them. But I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder.

I like the look of the oval camaro tips on Eldos, but not so much on Devilles.

Re: 2001 Cadillac DeVille DHS chrome exhaust tips

Re: 2001 Cadillac DeVille DHS chrome exhaust tips

Everyone has such different taste. When I do my Corsa system I was actually considering putting the factory oval tips back on. I thought they looked better than the round ones on that particular application.

To each his own I guess.

Re: 2001 Cadillac DeVille DHS chrome exhaust tips

When you see the quality of the Corsa tips, you will put them on.

Re: 2001 Cadillac DeVille DHS chrome exhaust tips

Nope don't like that at all.

However I do like the wing. I was up in the air for a long long time deciding weather I wanted a wing or a flush mount spoiler. I ultimately decided to go for the flush mount. Now that I see yours I do like the wing on the car. You can never get good photos like that from the suppliers.

Any other votes for wing or flush ?
