There is only one that I have found that works without damaging the chrome.
It's called "Blue-Job". It requires quite a bit of rubbing and buffing ,but I have gotten good results.
It's also important that you get your fuel/air ratio right too.When your bike is too lean it causes a lot more bluing than a good mixture.

Firstly, if your bike is a Harley and the mufflers are non-stock, chances are that your bluing is the result of the bike not having been re-mapped accordingly when the after-market pipes were installed. In simple terms, it's running too hot.
Blu-Job is the best product to remove bluing.

That "bluing" is caused by high heat, go to the motorcycle shop and ask for the stuff to remove it. It has several names and brands, like "blue away" or exhaust polish etc. They will know what you want.

If the chrome pipes on your bike are discolored with blues and purples and generally if the metal looks colored. Then that is the way it is. There is a reaction in the metal when it's heated over and over again..

Is your exhaust chrome plated or stainless steel? If it's chrome plated your choices are limited as anything with too much abrasive could go through the chrome plating and ruin it. You can try some fine steel wool with some polishing compound on it in a small inconspicuous area, depending on how old/hard the chrome is, this can sometimes safely remove the blueing.
If it is stainless steel you can simply wet sand it with 2000grit sandpaper and hand polish it back with rubbing compound.

Just wanted to answer because wanted to say DON"T EVER USE SANDPAPER ON YOUR PIPES!!!!! I don't care what the grit is.
I've used Blue Job as others have said. Works better then anything else. Won't bring them back to the original shine but will remove about 75% of the bluing. You can get it at bike shops.

blue job is the only thing I have seen work. Make sure you fuel mixture is right if its to lean you get heat and discoloration.
