Default suggestions for exhaust tips

Iam looking at upgrading my exhaust system sometime and wanted some suggestions or sources on where to get exhaust tips other than chrome or stainless steel. My truck is all red and I am not really sure if I want to go the route of something shiny and chrome. I am interested in something black looking, but good quality. I have seen the black "crinkle" look but not too fond of it. Any suggestions on helping me pick something out would be appreciated.

I'd suggest finding a style you want and then having it powder coated with high temp coating or get it teflon coated.

Nahhh...go with Black Ceramic coated. It will withstand the most heat.....

I had mine done a few months ago and I love em. I finally have all the "shiny-stuff" off the truck and it is just black and red now



Much better than the original stainless steel, that were turning "yellow", from the heat.

I feel the need for the Lightning style exhaust from Ford Racing. I wonder if you could spraypaint it with caliper paint or something that holds up against heat.

bbq paint holds up good to heat.
