Where to buy chrome exhaust tip?

I will be in LA and San Diego this weekend and would like to ask what are the places to go to get a chrome exhaust tip for my '03.
I am looking for something like with angle cut and rolled edges but not sure whether double wall or single.

Any suggestions folks?

Autozone or similar should have a range of bolt on chrome exhaust tips.

You know if you don't want to pick it up in person, both

www.flowmastermufflers.com

and

www.magnaflow.com have exactly what you are looking for.

Other than that, try

www.jcwhitney.com

and www.summitracing.com


failing that, you could always try

www.jegs.com

My vote is for Flowmaster, they have some nice stuff...

I don't know if it will fit yours, but I put a tip exactly as you described on mine from an MR2. The tip was from a 2001 I think.

Thanks for replies guys. I like the one Jason has and will surely check it with Mieneke. Will also check dealers on Magnaflow and Flowmaster around LA and see what they've got.

Mine is a Magnaflow tip



Its turning gold (because it is chrome not stainless), anyone know how to make it chrome again?

Well, I didn't see anything I like during my short trip to the West Coast and still on the hunt.

The upcoming 2004 has some nice accessories including a stainless exhaust tip. Anybody has experienced with Valor products? Are they good?

I'm also eyeing the sports pedals by OBX Racing and the bumper trim and the ....

Take a look at what I'm talking about.

Chroming is an electrochemical process, don't think you can do it at home. I'm not sure what it would cost to take it somewhere to get re-done.

A bit of Chrome Polish will clean them up. Even my stainless tip turns gold.
