 Subject: Chrome exhaust tips
IP: Logged
Message:
I've had my truck exactly 1 week and the exhaust pipe is already full of rust! It sticks out like a sore thumb.
Does anyone know where I can find a chrome tip so it will match my bumpers?

If you think the FACTORY pipe rusts just wait til you add a CHROME tip! You'll be polishing it daily. You should be able to find one anywhere.

Get a polished stainless tip. Looks as good as chrome and it won't rust. $30-$40.

Unfortunately, much of the tubing used for the exhaust systems are made from Type 409 stainless. This has just enough chromium in it to be classified as stainless steel. However, the slightest of moisture will cause surface rust. It won't rust through, but does oxidize quickly. The company I work for makes the stainless tubing for the exhaust systems used on todays cars.

You can get some nice, relatively cheap, polished stainless steel tips from your local Midas shop.
They should run you about $40 each, however I consider that cheap since I paid like $65 each for stainless tips on my other ride ('96 T-Bird) which originally came off of a Lexus.
