My advice is to first have them bead blasted, that'll clean all the rust off so you can tell what kind of shape the metal is in. If they're not pitted too bad you may be able to get them chromed. If they are pitted you might just spray them with some good high temp paint. If any holes appear from blasting throw them away and buy new. If you have any trouble locating someone to do the blasting or chrome you might check with a Harley shop.

You can't paint them untill you get every bit of the rust off. Bead blasting is the best way to do this. Otherwise you'll be sanding or wire brushing them for hours. The bead blasting won't hurt good metal but if the metal is rusted so bad that it's paper thin it will blow through.

Ive been told that 4 into 2 into 1 is the best setup, as it still allows scavenging of exhaust gases and has only one can, therefore increasing sound and performance
I just wish I could afford a new system
