The OEM tips installed on my 35i are actually made of highly polished stainless steel, not chrome plated plain (mild) steel (checked them with a magnet). Usually, only the least expensive, auto parts store "add-ons' are actually chrome plated mild steel. Polished stainless, treated with an occasional application of Semichrome, makes for a very durable exhaust tip.
