pfrederi 17,642 #4 Posted March 25, 2012 If the chrome has burned off I would assume the muffler is pretty rusty. Getting anything re-Chromed is going to be very expensive and if you want a good job the rust will have to be removed. Removing the rust may open up holes in the muffler. Eastwood has some hiogh temperature paints if the rusty look really bothers you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slufoot733 70 #7 Posted March 25, 2012 Another option would be to look at some motorcycle mufflers. They are usually chrome and you light find one that will fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
