Exhaust tips can really set off a car or truck and they come in various shapes. The standard old school tips are usually made of steel and are chrome plated. Usually they have an angled cut and come in various sizes to fit different exhaust tubing. In general there are three main attachment systems used and they range from a simple V band clamp, screws holding them on or welding them on permanently.

If you have a factory splash pan with cut outs on both sides you have to be careful to size the tips so they do not rub and or hit during any tail pipe vibration or movement.Many manufacturers including Billy Boat and others offer stainless tips in round, square, oval and custom shaped units for many different Street Rods. Some have small wire beads on the outer edge which is a nice touch. As mentioned earlier clearance is very important so be sure you have exhaust hangers close to the end of the pipe where the tip will be attached. This insures that you will not have vibration damage from the tip hitting on the body and rubbing through the painted surfaces and or scuffing the tips chrome or stainless finish.
