Been thinking about getting my RC pipe rechromed, after 28 years of use its getting a bit wore. It is still in good shape no rust holes or major dents in the pipes underneath. Anyone have a favorite chrome shop with decent prices you can recommend?

Hmmm 53 looks so far and no comments lol -
Hi,
I called a couple of local shops but they wouldn't do it because the exhaust soot messes up their vats. There is a company called Jet-Hot that can supposedly put a high-temp chrome-like coating on your exhaust but I've never used them.
Thank you for your indulgence,

Thanks BassCliff, looks promising and there is a location not far from me in AZ!Comment

It is true that parts to be chrome-plated must be absolutely clean. Any soot would ruin a very expensive vatful of chemicals. Jet Hot is a good solution. I expect that they have a way to clean the part to their standards. It won't look exactly like chrome, but it does look good.Comment

Might actually be better then chrome...If I were to get them rechromed, I was going to power wash them and do the best I could to clean them out.Comment

IIRC, Baatfam had posted a picture of an exhaust system done that way that looked very good.
Perhaps contact him for the source that he used and the photo.?
