Well, you can have them chromed or enameled. The last set i sold the guy had them plated in some kind of zinc or anodized.

Well look at it this way bitsa. Chrome is not the ideal finish on a exhaust if you want it to last. Think of the paint they use on a cast iron stove and that lasts years at high temp. It will not look nice and shiny but, does last.
I have a set of CB500 chromeless pipes and still undecided which way to go with those. May just plonk them on fleabay.
