Soon to be replaced with whole new exhaust, however.
Here is the exact one I have. I found it on ebay - here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ory=33636#pics

It is triple chrome plated stainless steel, holds up very well, polishes out nicely, mine are about 5 years old. They need to be welded on by a muffler shop.
BTW, the stock tips on a GS make me nauseous.

Those are nice.....and so is the price. But won't the chrome pit and rust a little because of salt and winters?

Been thru 4 or 5 winters with salt/snow, etc, no pitting, still nice & shiny. Minor routine maintenance keeps them in good condition. I've let them get dirty during winters, but they clean right up.
