Anyone one chromes tip???

I hate the tips that the previous owner put on the car and I want the same tips style but chrome. how much do you think they will cost. I got 2 1/2 tips and here a pic of what I have. Under my videos you can really get a look at what I got

Alright, you dont want chrome tips. They usually rust and peel in less than a year. Get stainless tips, they look better too.

The cheapest thing you could do, is find a muffler shop that will do cheap welding and install work. Bring them 2 tips like these, and they will weld and fab the hanger. I bought from this site a little over a year ago, stuff showed of good. No rip off.

Edit: the picture shown in that page is not the actual tip. The one I picked for you is 18" long, so you will not see where it is welded unless you bend way down behind the car. Also, they sell magnaflow tips too. But those are twice the price, for the same thing with a different name.

Definatly go with stainless, the person who had my car before me put on chrome tips and they were all chipped and faded when I got it. I put all new exhuast on and went with the stainless and they are much better and are less work to keep looking nice.

Find or fabricate the tips you want and have Jet-Hot coat them.
