On my '98, I used an SOS pad and acetone. The acetone takes all the stuck-on tar off without harming the stainless, but for God's sake don't get it on the paint!

If I can make a sugesstion.....spend a little{about $150} ans get yourself a set of crhromed exhaust tips from Ford. It look grest, easy to keep clean, and fills up those flared embossments on the rear bumber very nicley. Take a look at my gallery if you would like to view.
Good luck!!

:bang: Pleeeeeaaaase DON't use Brillo pads.
Its made from carbon based steel. Small tiny particles may be left on your shiney pipes. These will then pit and eventually cause RUST spots from the brillo.
Use a scotchbrite pad and good cleaner.
If the tips get bad there is a product on line http://www.maasinc.com/products.html that works wonders

There is nothing wrong with using SOS pads...I used them for 7 years twice a week and the pipes looked like new until I sold the car.
..just rinse well..geez. :bang:
