| | Cadillac Owners Member | | | | 2001 Cadillac DeVille DHS chrome exhaust tips 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!  |

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  |

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). |

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. |

| | Cadillac Owners Member | | | | | Re: 2001 Cadillac DeVille DHS chrome exhaust tips Thanx! Your car sounds reeeeeel nice. What mufflers do you have under there (wait....these aren't the Dynomax units)?? I like the exhaust tips - are they factory? |

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. |

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 ? Quote:
