Side Pipes - replacement options

[cobra de capell]

I have an old build ERA with side pipes painted white. Of course, the white paint is a little troublesome to keep looking good, but white does seem to compliment a blue - white strip Cobra.

Well, the muffler is about to burn through the outside casing so I'm looking for options. A guy told me that a good shop can replace the muffler and deal with the outer casing - making it look good again. Replacing the side pipes, along with the mufflers is clearly an option. Chrome sidepipes are an option. Sidepipes with special coating, perhaps powder coating in white or a different color is an option.

My car is pictured in my gallary, but it looks the same as the one on this site on the Club Logo - to the left, top of scene.

Any suggestions, input, advise will be sincerely appreciated. I'm into maintaining a menacing look versus a show car finished look, it's a driver not a show car. I know that chrome is probably an easy care way to go. Also, cost is not a big issue.

Thanks.
