What do you think? Chrome or Stainless Steel 3" tips?

First off the car is a 1991 Trans Am GTA,350,flowmaster 80 series....Pic to come soon..

Which should I go with? The chrome tips are around 30.00 each (cnd), the stainless are 60-70 bucks each... what the hell should I do? Will the stainless ones clean easier?

Fredel..

Stainless won't rust. I know on my chrome ones, when I left the car at home while I was at college I came back and they looked horrible, but some chrome polish with rust remover helped.

My pipes are still in great condition I mean they have the usual wear from debris off the road hitting them but all i have to do is take a cloth that was put in warm water and they clean up very well, iuse a little polish if i want them really shinny but they are very easy to keep in good condition by just wiping them down every so often.
