They look good to me. The main things to check are the welds and the finish. The welds look good in the pic. They appear to be stainless steel and not coated mild steel. Use a rubbing compound on them before you install them. Rub them pretty hard and then check for cracks in the finish by holding it up to a light, at an angle.

I like the slanted tips......

How much did they cost you and please post some pics of what they will look like. (From the back of the car and from under the car.) what exhaust setup do you have?

If they are stainless, there is no need to use a polish or rubbing compound (except to just keep them looking good).

Polishing chromed pieces and looking at the surface under a bright light can show bubbles and irregularities that will later cause appearance problems.
