I would powdercoat them to match the intake pipe and manifold. Not a fan of polishing, too much upkeep to stay clean.

I don't think he will be happy with the jethot. It doesn't come back with the same luster as polished and it wouldn't match the pipes. I think it had something to do with coating the aluminum versus ss. I wasn't too happy with mine, it showed a lot of the imperfections that I didn't see before it was done.

Yea I told Sam that I didnt think the jethot would match 100% I will just have to "polish one out"

I agree 100% with what you are saying about the upkeep. However I drive my car about 2000 miles a year max. If it were a DD I would not polish at all.

Sorry to get this thread back on track but...
I'd powdercoat the pipes to match the intake.

How would it look powder coated white to match the exterior?
Also beware, that over-polishing may lead to low flow in the pipes.
