I'm not sure what you mean by 'tip'. Most SOHC exhaust systems don't have a removable tip.

Do you mean muffler?

OK, that's what I thought. In that case, if it fits on the collector tube then you should be able to use it.

I just gave Dave500 an old Tranzac muffler of a 750, he put it on his 550 headers and loves it....Anything is possible, you may have to rejet depending on how much less restrictive the new muffler is....
