Default Need advice on stainless steel exhaust...

So, I have the Tanabe Medallion exhaust, which is stainless steel.

It doesn't match my chrome wheels.

Should I get it chromed?

What are the pros and cons?

Just thinking...

imo chrome looks cheap while trying to look fancy. i think you should leave the tips of the exhaust as they came and paint the mufflers a matte black. that is what i did and it looks great! just my $0.02

I just realized i read this backwards. I thought you were wanting chrome rims to match your tanabe. Sounds like you already have them.

Yeah, I have chrome wheels. But the Tanabe looks "dull" in comparison...

wow your wheels are like super chrome. have you tried any of that eagle one or other chrome polish on your tips? I do my borla ones about 1x a week adn they shine back up pretty good.

as far as this pic goes, I think it looks good enough, not something you would want to take off and go get re-finished. spend your money on other stuff.
