I don't know of any chrome shop that will do used pipes due to the contamination threat, powder coating or ceramic coating is your best bet.

  powder coating or ceramic coating is your best bet.

    +1 on Powder Coating.

Here is a picture of a muffler setup I built for my Trike and it is Powder coated in what they call Chrome.   To me it is a kind of dull Grey.      I also had my front wheel powder coated.    Tough stuff..........



Header is ceramic, yellow 4" strip is a chrome strap, it isn't really discolored, camera just shows it that way.     Muffler and extension are all powder coated.

This shows part of the front wheel Powder coating.

I doubt any chrome shop would risk contaminating their solution, but you can ask.

As far as the flanges go, they use wire (usually copper) to hold the loose parts in a position where the chrome or powdercoat can evenly reach all the recesses.

I painted the first 6 inches of mine with rustoleum grill and stove high temp paint. Comes in gray and flat black. Hoping it will help with rust at the manifold also.

I painted mine too. Just the headers on my TBR's. Didn't have any rust.... Just lots of severe blueing. It turned out pretty good, and they actually held up great.
