Get it done professionally. The manifold probably can't be polished if it is a cast iron manifold. If it is aluminum, you can polish it. The piping is probably steel, I think you would have to chrome it. The valve cover can be polished. Hope that helps.

yeah chrome the ic piping nothing wrong with doing that. Just the upper one in the engine bay b/c thats the one you can see. About polishing the turbo manifold well....some people around here "say" they use a dremel and sandpaper.

I have no idea how they get it to look so good using those tools. Ive tried it with sanpaper and it looked like dog dick. I dont know the durability of chrome at high temps but surely it would look the best.
