Default exhaust tips?

Does anybody know a store, website, whatever that sells exhaust tips for my s4...its a 2001. Car looks great but I feel like a set of shiny new tips would make it even better!!

Thanks for the help!

mothers metal polish, and some 1500 grit wet sand paper works wonders

I believe they are welded on. Probably more trouble than it's worth, in my opinion.

Cleaning and polishing them will do wonders.

sounds like a great idea...
but is there any special technique/tips for the "wet sanding" process...i definitely don't want to do the wrong way and mess it up more, haha.

I haven't tried the sandpaper method yet.

When I clean mine I use a #0000 steel wool with soap and water and after it dries I finish with Mothers or similar.

I have done this to my buddys firebird that the flowmaster polished quad tips had turned dull and had alot of carbon build up (no cats), dry sanded with 1000 grit, then polished with 1000 grit compound, then polished with 2000 grit compound, then fine paint polish and wax, they looked new and beautiful. Or, you could get exhaust and have shiney new tips with an amazing sound to boot

ps... if you wet sand, theres no way you will mess them up so no worries!
