I can't pick a tip!

I went to go pick out my exhaust today (magnaflow 18" SISO), and I had trouble picking out a tip. I couldn't decide between 45 or 15 degree, slash cut or rolled edge, or the size of the outlet.
So... could you guys do me a huge favor and post pics of your exhaust tips? SISO or if you have duals, just a pic of the passenger side and I'll pretend. And if you could tell me the size and style of your tip that would kick *** too.
Thanks guys!!

3in chrome rolled slashed cut tip. Had SS but it turned brown and never liked the looks of them. I use Hot Chrome polish for heated chrome surfaces to keep them clean and free of rust. SS actually does not rust, it pits and fades, and stains very easily.

The muffler guy said that SS was better than chrome and that if it turns brownish that a good polish is all it needs. Guess I'll have to hear some more opinions. Thanks!

If you are goin to be running a tip behind the rear wheel without a splash guard... DONT use Ractive Black chrome tips. Mine looks like CRAP now.. and I have the splash guards... If your gonna run them out the back, they should stay looking good.

It is coming out behind the rear wheel, and black chrome sounds sweet. Never thought of that, but I guess I'll steer clear now. Thanks!

I like the one that comes out the side of the bed, I want one but I hate cutting my truck.... I think it would look sweet if the chrome was painted to match.
Any one read truckin' magazine, there was a F150 in there this mo. with an exhaust that came out of the bed.

I also like the black chrome, oval with a rolled edge.
