I agree with the stainless. Mine are stainless and dump behind the tire. I wish they were black because they are so hard to keep looking good. I will end up painting them. Since you are dumping out the back, this should not be an issue.

Mine are out the back bumper and they still see their fair share of grime. I am thinking of painting mine black as well.

I'm going to be doing 45's. I like the way out the back looks good but 45's appeal to me more.

Well my 21st b-day party was yesterday. I think I managed to pull enough cash in to go ahead and do the exhaust.

Stainless for sure. I have a black bumper but did the stainless. I though about black but figured it would look like I just never cleaned them.

I got a 4" MBRP black tip on my truck that is stainless then powercoated black that finish is tough as nails and I don't think it will ever chip; even with my 3/4 mile gravel driveway

I agree with going with a stainless tip on your truck, you got a lot of chrome.

Can't wait to see it finished!
