Won't matter, you'll want to get them coated in matte black ceramic

They are polished SS. Higher grade SS than the rest of the exhaust system.

Ceramic coating can take the heat of exhaust systems without effort, is scratch resistant so its easy to clean, and resists water spotting. Most local coating shops offer ceramic coating, should be about $150-$180 to do yours - if you remove the exhaust section and leave it with them for 3-4 days (needs to cure). For cars with the black pack, it really helps complete the look.

Hello everyone... new to the forum. You could also consider replacing them. I went with Carbon Fiber and Stainless steel from Akrapovic.

The Akropovic website doesn't list Jagaur as a brand. What did you order?

I went with Akrapovic Slip-ons, did not change exhaust system. I went to a local high end muffler/fabrication shop and had them installed.

I found this on Amazon, maybe it helps:
Amazon Amazon

Edit - and a pair of the 114 mm "out" size look perfect for the V6.
The only downside, at least with the V6 and I guess also with the V8, is that the existing tips are integral with the muffler, welded on not bolted on so the only way to fit the new tips is to cut the old tips off leaving enough pipe to then clamp the new tips to. Not something most DIY'ers could handle, best to get it done by a professional exhaust shop but it shouldn't cost much.
