Didn't mention before that the stainless end is not magnetic, as you'd expect. But as you move a magnet closer to the top end it starts sticking and is totally magnetic at the narrowed down top end. No doubt these are two piece construction.
Guess you could call these "nice 10 footers". But I didn't pay 200 clams for 10 footers.

They were purchased from Ames. Not sure what other options i have other than using a pair of my GM SR '71-73 tips and just living with the inevitable criticisms.

I think I recently read that the Gardner(?sp) exhaust might come with them... ??

That aside, Ames are the only game in town.

Besides, of course finding good originals and sending for re-chroming.

If you're otherwise happy with the shape/surface of those ... a good chrome shop could make the forming marks at the top end go away. And the tips would end up with a much nicer finish on them. I know you hate paying for something that's "chromed", and then chroming them again, but a used set in decent shape needing a re-chrome would cost that much, too.
