Chrome would probably hold for a little while, but would discolor pretty fast I would think. Jet-hot or similar would do really well when done inside and out.

I think if you Jet Hot the inside, you run a risk of it coming off and getting sucked into the turbo. I'll probably just do the outside.
thanks though. It would look sweet if it where chromed, I think I'll try to get in touch with a chromer and see what they think. I'll let eveyone know.

Jet hot is doing a new more polished looking finish, I`ve seen some headers with this newer coating and it looks real good. You also get the benefit of the much cooler temps on all the surrounding parts. Just get it coated on the outside only.

they will discolor. Look on harleys and bikes like that with chrome pipes. They discolor and i doubt that their temp is any where near turbo heat. Good luck though
I actually love the look of discoloration on exhaust pipes. Makes it look like it has some street miles

The inside coating is important; it helps keep the heat from being absorb by the pipe. The outside coating then helps keep the heat that was absorb by the pipe from radiating out. I talked to hot jet about flakes and the turbo and they said it’s not a problem.
