Hey all. I know this thread has been discussed b4, I just can not find it again. Im pretty decided on wrapping my exhauset as the quickest cosmetic fix. My next question is what is hte best way to cover my bubbs? can the chrome be scuff sanded and primed and painted w/ high temp stuff or does the chrome need to be sand blasted off and go from the base metal? Or should i just wrap them up also? As always, Thanks in advance.

Removing the chrome is not going to accomplish anything , actually will protect from corrosion . Wrap 'em up .

Oh i know that the headers can just be wrapped, I was thinking of the pipes. I have seen the look with the headers wrapped and the pipes black. that's what I'm leaning towards. didn't know if wrapping the whole length would look any good.

You do not need to remove the chrome to have them high temp coated. A dealership I worked for sent headers and exhaust cans out all the time to have them done. Generally they were doing the silver colored "jet hot coat", but they also did the high temp black too. They would lightly media blast them to etch the surface just like bare steel/aluminum. We were sending them to a local powder coater.
I want to say that headers or cans were running around $150-175 for the polished silver and half that for black. Its been a while.
