I'm now having trouble deciding what to get chrome or black...

What color car do you have?

For anyone having trouble deciding what color to choose between the black and chrome. Go with the black. It's not really black at all. I saw them in person today at my local muffler shop but they were listed at $90 each. The black is like a shiny titanium black. Looks very good. And I have a Toledo Blue.

Thanks to BaKerR414 for the idea and info, I had those same exhaust tips installed today and they look awesome. After a bit of contemplating, I decided to go with the stainless steel rather than the black chrome, to match it with the running board. Plus the fact that I wanted a little bit of a contrast in the rear rather than a complete blackout look.

The tips looked huge out of the box, but as you can see, they are just slightly smaller than the stock 4.6is once installed. I had the muffler shop take about 1 1/2 inch off (in length) from the inlet in order for those tips to tuck back in a bit from the bumper. Otherwise, they will be parallel with the rear bumper, which makes it stick out a tad too much for my tastes (the original overall length of these tips are about 9 1/2 inches!).

Can you take some close up pictures of the length of the exhaust tips that you have sticking out? i want a good idea on how far to leave mine out.

Here are a couple of quick close up shots of the exhaust tips I just snapped off in my garage tonight. As you can see...the tips extend out quite a bit even after sawing off about 1 1/2 inch. Hope it gives you a good idea of how far out you want those tips to hang. GL

Mine stick out a good inch more than yours do and I really like the look of it. It all depends on how aggressive you want your cars ass to look.
