As Shadow mentioned, they don't currently have the option without chrome tips (someone feel free to chime in if they do now).
There are a few members that have painted them black and they look great.

ISS Forged originally talked about releasing a factory tip style DES and reducing the costs for no tip orders (i think they offered no tips for $150.00 off or free shipping etc).....I do not know if they ever produced any this way.
If you don't want the tips but really want the DES grind off the welds on the outer chrome finishing pieces and cut the inner tips to the correct length if trying to install them and retain the OE look. It would not be that hard to do.
The green taped area is the chrome finishing piece and you can see the inner tube going inside the tips. Its the reason why the tips stay cool when under operation, there is an air pocket between the two tips.

Quite frankly, with the rise in cost of the ISS forged DES exhaust now, I do not know why anyone going this route would not take the JOEZ, already fitted to go with the OE tips and a very similar sound and end HP result!
