It is a 2003. It has factory everything and I want to either shine the exhaust or buy a new one. How much would a new one cost? all answers would be helpful. Thanks.
 
Try buffing it with a buffer, and polishing the chrome. Buying a new one would be more expensive than buying an after market one.
 
Get some buffing compound that is safe for what ever coating or plating that is on your pipe and then apply some elbow-grease or rent/buy a buffer and go nuts. Also the price of a new pipe varies on whether you buy a full system or slip on or if its fitted or a universal and whether it is a brand name or a knock off. If your not looking at getting more power out of your bike just buff the stock pipe but remember that if you do get a new pipe that you should get your bike properly tuned to get the power gains that you pay for in a aftermarket pipe.
