Have you looked into getting it rechromed?

Are there perhaps other types of exhausts, other than stainless? Just to have brand new shiny exhaust, without DIY.

Nobody makes stainless.......or I would have one.

For a while Mac made an exhaust and it came in either chrome or powder coated black.  They sent us a prototype and we tried it (Lancer).  Told them the 2" header was too large and the muffler was too loud and our group would prefer something quieter.  They ignored our comments and made it wrong.....they didn't sell many and stopped building it.

I have tried ceramic header paints - they work OK as long as you don't ride in the rain or store your bike outside.  The paint doesn't hold up for too long.

There are companies like Jet Hot that will sandblast and apply a ceramic coating that is durable.

darn.  That was painful to watch.

I recall people putting take off Harley mufflers on there savages. But I don't recall what model Harley muffler fits best.

The mufflers on Savages must run much hotter than mufflers on other bikes. I have a chrome Suppertrapp muffler on my 02 and it is now a burnt looking brown color.

I had my header ceramic coated ($50) 5 years ago, attached a Dyna muffler (excellent chrome), both are still in excellent shape. Hotrod shops appear to be the best at ceramic coating headers.
