Default Advice on exhaust pipe chrome "tips"

Not trying to gain on the performance side right now (unless it happens anyway) on this issue but my stock muffler tips are old and have lost their luster.
I wanted a simple slip on tip that may even have a larger diameter exit end but basically something that looks good.. Didn't want to weld anything but would prefer a slip on tip if they make it.
Trying to spend a small amount of $ for this cosmetic improvement.
Any advice?
Dee

Save yourself come cash and invest in a can of mother's mag polish and a couple terry cloth rags. Stuff works wonders.

Just buy a pair of $40 chrome 4' exhaust tips from your local Autozone tips and weld them on.

I had a shop cut my stock exhaust tips and welded them on for $35. They look really nice.

I then sold my stock tips for $25 to offset some cost.

Here are some pictures.
