Default chroming intake tubes.
I have the old A&A Steel 4" intake tubes, and I can either paint them or get them chromed.

Will chrome be ok to do?

Also who can Chrome these for me.

Thanks,

JB

John Maryland performance coatings might do it, or have you thought about powder coating them? API powder coating is right down the street from me and they can do anything you want.

Chroming would look good too!

I would look for a shop that chromes wheels. I wouldn't think it would be a problem for them.

Chrome would be cool looking!

The only down side might be a little heat soak

Thanks,Matt

Simplest and most cost effective way would be to call ECS and order up there intake pipes. Aluminum and polished-very nice!
