Replace muffler tips?

so after an accident, my right side muffler got destroyed so it was replaced with a new obviously but now the tips look different, obviously 1 warn out more then the other, is it possible to replace the tip of the old one so it matches the new? i looked around but it seems like the bigger tip (giggity) is part of the muffler

I was wondering too if just the tips could be replaced, my maxima is a 2010 and doesn't have the chrome rolled tips that came standard on the 2011 Maxima. The chrome rolled tips give the back of the car a much better look, mine are so dirty it doesn't even look like dual exhausts from the back.

Do you think just the tips could be replaced? I don't want to get a whole new exhaust system to just have chrome rolled tips.

The factory can be cut off and new ones welded on

You could use a hammer to knock off the old ones, and then get the bolt on variety.
Won't be quite as nice or permanent, but it would work.
