You need to get them stripped. The copper is used like body filler before chrome. Get them stripped then polish up the stainless.
I had it done on mine a couple years ago and they still look good.

You shouldn't polish the tips (my wife tells me that all the time, lol) with sand paper, they're chrome. The stainless pipes, yes.
I would not have but they were pitted and rusted. I went ahead and started sanding them knowing they couldn’t get worse.
I’ll have to post a picture of the other one and you’ll understand.
I’ll have to look into getting these fully stripped somewhere. Damn.
Chrome, use 0000 stainless Steel wool and a heavy cut metal polish like Chemical Guys. Then buff to a shine with microfiber.
To fix the situation, just do a nasty burnout and get them covered in rubber. I clean mine off every few years hahahaha.

The tips are also stainless under the chrome. I was going to have mine rechromed because they were done. The guy called me after they were stripped and told me they were the same material as the rest of the pipe. So I had him polish them to see how it would turn out. They're still nice and shiny.
Look for a powder coating or polishing shop. They should have a line on places that can strip them.

I had mine ceramic coated along with the rest of the exhaust. Not the same as polished stainless or chrome but still shiny
