The new ones won't look any better than the old...the shiny ones you've seen are stock ones that have been coated.
You're probably thinking of HeatStroked's truck...why not shoot him a PM.

What I have done in the past with aluminum is to use some wet & dry sandpaper (very fine 1500 grit) to clean off any imperfections as best you can and use a good aluminum (Mag) polish. It does a great job with minimal $$ investment (a little sweat equity) and holds up very well. People always ask if I had them coated or chromed... I use on the aluminum tubing that is under the hood too (A/C tubing, etc..) Have fun!!!

thanks for the replies guys, appreciate it.
Does anyone have any links for these pipes already done up, ready to buy online? sites? I still wonder if new oem pipes would look good......
okay---dumb question here.....sorry........ What is in these intercooler pipes......just 'cooler' air---correct???? I can just disconnect those fittings and remove these pipes without any special handling????
thanks again
