I think you got about a 2% chance or Duncan chroming it..

Just find a local chroming shop...I'm sure they should hook you up.

I remember asking popo a while ago about that, and he doesn't chrome pipes, unless they are new, because the carbon, or something in the pipe messed up one of his tanks. Now that doesn't mean someone else won't do it, but I just wanted to give you the heads up.

Don't you nickle plate pipes to give it that chrome look? Thats how all the "non-works" pipes come from fmf.

Well, the whole used thing might be... but when duncan did my paul turner. I know they took a roto ruter or somethin and ran it thru the inside to clean it al up.... cuz i could see the marks from it all bein scuffed up and cleaned up. I would rather go with chrome then nickel.... I hate how nickel turns a gold color after a while.

I think he is refering to the main pipe for his 250r, those pipes are steel, you can't polish steel.

LMFAO!!! You wanna bet that it won't rust!!:eek2:

The only way I have seen steel polished is by 1, rusting within a day or two, or 2, clear coating and looking like $hit!

Your best bet would be to find a local chrome shop.
