$90 per pipe (ouch)

but the quality was very impressive..... and yes they are the piping that came with the blitz lm kit.

nah im not going to do the end tanks because it will be hidden, you can polish the end tanks u cant chrome them, because they have to acid dip them etc. and it will ruin the intercooler. the piping however will be visible front the front bar (i have a c-west fb btw)

you can ploish them, but there are 2 downsides to the chrome...

1. they will get dirty and you need to re-polish them after a bit of time
2. chrome will always stay that bright, hence no need to re-chrome. also easier to clean.

cheers,

Will it be affected by alot of engine heat? It's shiney...mmmmmmm...shiney....

I polished my piping and although i don't clean it (and i didn't spend heaps of time making it mirror to start with) it stays pretty shiney. Shiney enough anyways, it is engine bay after all.
