Dead end "International Chromium Plating : I did get a good response from Jean Fogarty ....... Think she may be biased? Not going to nick pick her, got good information I had not known, so she gets a thumbs up for that.

I will buy the ready chrome headers, and side pipes, sure blue is expected. High heat does that, but from that point on and down the chrome will be bright.

For anyone interested, Speedway, Jegs and Summit all sell the same manufactures product, after all the numbers are added the price is the same.

I like Speedway motors over all good raw parts, but what sticks out researching the headers and pipes are two things.
1 they will and do not say who the manufacture is
2 the disclaimer presented in the web sales pitch, makes one very skeptical of the chrome.
Guy on the phone out right said they were made for a car that is pushed in and out of a car show. I did find that funny as h e ll, almost spit my coffee all over the display.

However I do understand his point, cause so many want or expect some impossible things out of parts. So all good I beat the bushes, the information flew out and know what to expect. I will buy from Summit, Speedway not wanting to cough up the manufactures name, sends up a red flag with the word seconds printed on it....... Wave off for me.

What the hay I have been thru 2 sets of the coated stuff, and that was a conservative approach, for bright. It would have been twice that to keep the look like new finish, never really cuts it as an alternative to chrome IMO.


Cheers,
