talk to your chrome plater as they will have certain requirements before they stick it in their tanks so it doesn't stuff them
Precision Hard Chrome, ask for Mr Ed

Personally check to see what price NOS ones are. As its not 100%.
There are two main ways
Casutic soda and boiling water (extreme care) but will not harm the pipes chrome.
The other is using a gas torch, it will kill the chrome.
you heat the outside to red and occasionally direct the touch into the pipe its dirty and produces noxious fumes.
