Is $400 a pipe reasonable? Claims they need to have the carbon removed first, at about $75 each.

Seems a bit steep. I think we were quoted around aus $300 each.

They do need to get the carbon out, if not the pipe will contaminate the chrome tank they dip it in and it will ruin the solution. That could be a very expensive mistake. It might help if you could make some caps or plugs for the ends of the pipes so solution won't get in there.
$400 a pipe.... probably not too far off in the USA with all the EPA laws on that stuff. You could check around. Some places might not even do pipes and mufflers. Browns Plating has closed up from what I hear, not a good sign.

P.S. You might check with the boys over at Richard's Relics (The Bridgestone Forum). There is a lot of chrome on those Bridgestones including gas tanks and they have someone that will do it. I do believe your old buddy Ziggy hangs out there.

Plugging them up creates other problems, now they float. Some people fill with water to solve that issue. It is best when you can make a deal with your plater to do them just before he changes his tank solutions so he will not care so much if you foul his tank. I get mine done for $150.00/ea with no dents. The sheet by the intake is always thin and needs to be addressed. This discussion was covered in a post a few months ago.
