same way, no need to put a ton of pressure when you scrub it, just act like your waxing your car

just use what i said you will be happy with the way it turns out. remember tho the more zeros the finer
the grit on the steel wool, any hardware store will have that stuff. use it and your favorite polisher.

ok  cool , looks like it might be better to get a new one if I went the chromed route, thanks for the input though! You just saved me 2 hours of worthless googling for an answer!

150 to 200 to get pipe chromed, but it will need a acid bath first since it is a used pipe. it must be clean
and free of any oil dirt , inside and out

A good degreaser & pressure washer works really well. You may have to scrub alittle. Then go over it with with Turtle Wax Chrome Cleaner & Polish.

Hey guys , just like the post says , I have a FMF pipe on my 92 LT and at one time it was polished or chrome and its looking super dingy , any good ideas on a safe way to get it shined up without messing it up underneath the grime ? Thanks for any input.
