Default Exhaust tips

I'm looking for a HIGH QUALITY stainless steel exhaust tip. What brands are good, I dont want SLP, they're too small for me. I'm looking at either Gibson intercooled tip or Borla tip. Both with either a 3.5" or 4" inch outlet. I currently have Magnaflow with 4" outlet but they didn't keep they're shine at all. I hope either double walled or intercooled will help keep shine as well as constant polishing.

my tips are all burned up. they have a orange look to them now. they are 3 years old now though. they are their own custom color now. a guy in the club has some black chrome ractive tips on his sn-95 looks pretty cool.

IMO the black chrome will always look dirty, even when it's clean, and after driving it a few blocks it will look dirty again, My side pipes are nice, but when they did my alignment they Scratched the HELL OUTA them, in places i didn't even think they could...that and they broke the left pipe so it just dangled and scratched the ground throwing sparks back...I wasn't happy to say teh least, Now they shine somewhat, but honestly I dunno how I'm guna keep them clean...

What do you guyz use to keep them clean?

I still have my stock tail pipes. Can't say the look good. They have black stuff on there, probably from my car running lean, and they have a little orange on them. I'd change them, but i really don't give a ****...

On exhaust I have had in the past (S-10, Tahoe Sport) I had the exhaust coming out behind the back wheels and got a lot of road grime on them, and I always was able to get full shine back with them using Mothers wheel polish, takes a lot of elbow grease but it works, has anyone else tried this?

here's the problem with tips. Once you get them you gotta be careful how long they are. Example, I have Magnaflow tips now and they're 18 inches long with 4" diameter. I want to replace them when I fix my rear bumper. The MRT tips look AWESOME!!!! Thanks sooo much who sent those, they're exactly what I want. Longer than the borla, 3.5" inch rolled tip, and chrome plating on stainless steal, not just the polished stainless steal. But I'm going to have to lengthen my pipes some more since my current ones are 18inches and the MRT are 15 inches. This is the down fall, I can order some stainless steal tubing in 2.5 inch diameter for like 15 bux for just a foot of it. I'll just have a welder add 3-4 inches on each side and then put on MRT tips. Thanks guys for the ideas
