What to do with Stock muffler on a I30

What can I do to make my stock muffler look better? I gotta sell my Greddy, so I have to put back on stock . Personally I think the stock is ugly. Any Ideas?

I put a 4" chrome tip on my OEM muffler. I got the one that had a 2" inlet and it slipped right over the OE hole perfectly. Then I JB welded it in place. I assume you've got a 96-99ish i30- the one with the single outlet.

(sorry no pics yet)

I think 3.5" is large enough.

Yes. Most people prefer the weld-ons (like ericdwong's), but mine is a bolt-on, and you really can't tell unless you get under the car. ( Maybe because I'm lowered 2"? )

I've never really inspected the tip on my stock muffler but I was wondering if it was welded on or if its a bolt-on.
I'm 4th gen Max btw.

I think its pressure fit on. Mine came off one day and there were no weld spots or bolt spots anywhere, just a ugly little pipe.
