Chrome is the end result of a triple electroplating process. First they electroplate the metal with copper. Then they coat it with nickel and finally chromium. Removing it? Not an easy process. If it was applied properly, it is on there for good. You could probably do it with an acid process. Not recommended at home. I would just have new pipes made. It would be easier and cheaper.
