I'll try out some cleaner on it and see how it turns out, then most likely stop by an exhaust shop and ask for new tips if possible. I'd prefer polished tips over black.

I'd skip the hassle. Gintani exhaust drones. :/
Gintani sport is the only exhaust I really like the tone of, deep low bass sound vs all the other exotic sounding exhausts that are too loud or raspy.

Besides I don't really spend any time at 2k rpms in Austin.
