Yeah, polished stainless. The whole muffler is stainless, but painted black, and just the tips are polished.

Mine are shiney, but not mirror reflective, or near it even.........

Mine are kinda brushed stainless looking, but when clean they are shiny. Not chrome shiny, but shiny.

And damn I'm glad mine's the old style.

i believe mine are polished too. been driving 6 months, and they remain so. but does "old style" mean 45 degree angle cut? thats what i have. mine don't look like manntis'

Yeah, the angle cut are the older ones. I'm not big on the rolled edge tips at all.

They stopped outsourcing their exhausts.

That is why they had such a backup on them (especially the 3" turbo back system) a while back.
