Just installed my first mod. No big deal, and there is info on this site regarding this, but if you are looking for an affordable appearance mod, I suggest the Gibson slashed polished stainless-steel exhaust tip. I used part number 500360 for the 5.3 L standard exhaust. (I do not know if the 8.1 L exhast is the same) The Gibson has a 3' inlet and a 3.5" outlet. Gibson offers a round tip (non-slashed) also. This tip is 12" long. They offer an 18" but I do not know if it will fit and the 12" hides very well. I went with the slashed to match the existing exhaust.
Easy to install. I wire brushed the existing tip and applied a little dish soap on the inside of the new one (only needed at the 3" portion of course). Slide it on and install the provided bolt. That is it! I am going to check the bolt over the next few days in case of metal expansion, but probably not necessary. I let the tip stick out about 2" beyond the existing tip. You can't see the old tip unless you look directly in.
I bought mine online at one of the gibsonperformance.com website online dealers. Shop for price there and elsewhere if you wish. I got mine for 44.95 with free FedEx ground shipping.
