Hiya all. I have got a polini exhaust, and i would like it chromed to make it look nicer and protect it against rusting. Are the any downsides to having it chromed such as decreasing performance or maybe making it more brittle ? Many thanks Ricky
Nah not really. I will pop over to get a quote tomorrow, but the guy said they will polish it and chrome it for between £50 and £100 depending on size. Bonus for me is the place has contracts with triumph so should know what they are doing.
but would it not be harder to chrome the exhaust as u only want the outside chromed and not all the inside?
i got told you cant chrome an exhaust after being used? because of all the carbon inside ? probably bullshit but anywho! :tup:
cant...more like dont like to coz it contaminates their cleaning vats If you go for chrome, make sure they polish it well...see some that they've done before. Chroming is all about preparation and any slightest mark will show in the finished item
my mate got his done after about2/3weeks of use if that they did it not problem flushed the inside fru to clean it all then diped it. think they chagred him around 75?
Well this is brand new so shouldnt be a problem. I will take it this morning and see what thy wanna charge. Cheers
I have just come back from there, spoke to a lovely chap who really knew his stuff. Will cost £75 all in and will be ready for next saturday. The place is A F Howells in walsall if anyone needs something doing. Cheers
