Ecklers has the ZR-1 tips but only in chrome. http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/corve...1985-1991.html

Yeah, I did see those. They look like they slide over the existing tips, not quite what I was looking for.

Has anyone bought these tips?

I don't want to come off as snippy. But , your stock system will put out the same HP as a Borla. Borla's are known power robber's.
The stock 94 tip's accept a single exit pipe. The Borla's have 2 exhaust tip's. It'll be a tough fit.

I did buy these tips for the original stock exhaust to add some bling. They don't slide over existing tips. I had to cut the old tips off and weld these on with a MIG. Looked good too until I replaced the entire exhaust with a Corsa RSC system. Based on what FU says for the Borla system, it might not work for you.

You should have no issues sourcing the stock LT tips from any salvage exhaust system that's out there '92+ all C4's. It would be wise to locate a system that's close to you so you control the "cut"! Price should be "free" to something very close to "nothing"!

You might consider maybe looking hard for an LT4 system and just modify the resonator inlet pipes to fit the LT5. There's very little that needs modified. Sell the system you have!

You could always "blacken" the Corsa tips - that would look I'd think real good. I've considered this with my Corsa system that has no CORSA embossed on the tips. That's the single reason that I really don't care for the new Corsa systems, the "branding" on the tips.
