They'll discolor and turn blue....you don't want to chrome them. I believe they are stainless, you would be better off just polishing them and then sealing them with a high temp clear.

I hate the stock tips...that brushed finish just looks so bad. I have a dremel tool and I am so tempted to polish them, but I am going to do a Borla exhaust when they come out and they will come with new polished tips.
