Default Chrome or not to Chrome (Turbo Piping)

Hello Everyone,

I am was wondering if it is a good or bad idea to CHROME the piping on turbo kits? I just trying to make my kit more eye candy. I have a PE TT kit the pipes are silver now.

Thank you
Cesr

chromed headers will discolor due to heat, but not intercooler piping. they don't get very hot in comparison.

I say chrome it!!

Cesar, I agree with Sharif, I got to look at Ron's and it looks pretty amazing.
It is definitely something I am looking into.

Mine is chrome, and it looks awesome. Also if you could get BLACK CHROME instead it would be even sicker.

Just my 2 cents.

I would chrome as well, the stock PE piping is not the prettiest unless they have changed it.
