oh well... I wasn't going for a V8 (yes... vegetable juice

) sound anyway, I just wanted it to sound nice and not be falling off.
I "polished" one of the tips earlier. It looks pretty good... here are a few pictures
Left one... un"polished":

Right on... "polished" It still has some steel dust on it.

I used a metal file to round of the edged of the pipe scince they cut the tips with a sawzaw. Then I used steel whool until I got a cloudy kind of luster. Then I used regular car polish and rubbed that in with steel whool to make it shine. I plan on doing the other one first thing tommorow.
