hermanmullins Report post Posted June 16, 2018 You can find most anything you want at a Truck Chrome Shop. If your is like mine it is Stainless Steel and all one piece from the muffler out. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsbilledwards Report post Posted June 16, 2018 if it is rusty it is not stainless and yes you can buy a tip for under 75 bucks, chromed or stainless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted June 16, 2018 Big difference between tail pipe and tail pipe tip. Which is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted June 16, 2018 I would have it replaced with SS to muffler! Also, have the muffler looked at. I would not cut the pipe off behind the hole, or cover hole with a SS extender and tip! JMHO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsbilledwards Report post Posted June 16, 2018 Really need the OP to help us...really not much to this except determining which curve so we can answer with some degree of accuracy. Right now we are shooting at nats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildebill308 Report post Posted June 22, 2018 Look underneath and see if it is clamped or welded together. If welded you can just cut it off with a hacksaw. Measure how long from the joint. Is it 3" or 4" diameter? I have seen some chrome tips in Walmart if they don't have them look for a place that sells parts for diesel trucks. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted June 22, 2018 Or, just about any shop that has that diameter pipe can cut it and weld a new section on. Then add a tip. I had a tip on my previous MH that started to show surface cracking and rust. I put a wire wheel to it then used 1500˚ flat black paint to paint it. Looked good. Nor shiny but didn't rust anymore. If you do get section welded on use Rustoleum High Temp paint to coat the welded area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
