I think the black pipes woud look good. However, I think the chrome looks great! It all depends what you want the overall final look of your bike to be. Are you going to be changing more things later and making them black? If so, I would go with the black pipes. If you are keeping the chrome I think I would keep the chrome pipes to even out the look of your bike.
My son is changing everything on his to black eventually. So right now he has both.
Either way pick what will make you happy.
You can always change it later if you don't like it.

Honestly with the set up you have know I would go for chrome. I think the black pipes would look kind of lonely and out of place. Of course that;s just me. Balance is the key.

Go Chrome, you can't go wrong with that choice!
