Would these exhaust tips fit an 06 LT3, or can anyone recommend a good place to get them?

I think you 2 1/2 inside dia. tips.
those are to small
Plus I think the outlets are to big. Might not fit around the extaust opening

There are dealer installed exhaust tips you can buy but they're like $60 each.

I have seen posted that if you buy the dealer tips and have them installed at the dealer these tips are covered by the car's warranty.

I happen to like the exhaust tips myself on the '06/07 Montes and plan of getting them.

RJ is exactly correct I have them for my 06 LTZ and they are covered under the normal warranty. Got mine for dirt, but that's because the parts manager & I are good friends.

Man I'll tell ya. I've been friends with a guy in parts department at the local Chevy dealer for 20 years. I doubt he'd give me any kind of price break on parts.

Since I'm talking my '06 Monte in tomorrow to let them look it over (for the dead battery thing) I thought I'd call to see about having them install exhaust tips on my car?

The guy I know at the parts department said the tips will be $75.... EACH!

That GMPartsDirect web site only charges something like $55-60 for the tips.

The dealer also wanted $30 to install the tips. So I'd be in them for $180 just for the exhaust tips.

Any chance your friend can get them cheaper then $75 each?

PS. I found the sill plate covers ebay for $80 shipped to me.

Mrrench is correct, they are too small.

How do you guys figure they are too small? I measured my tail pipe, it is 2.25 inches in diameter.

also, can someone tell me the "out" diameter of the gm exhaust tips?

Sorry, my LTZ is 2 7/8 inches, I thought the LT3 was similar.
