I believe the two chrome pipes in the photo are used in plumbing.

They are 1 1/4" (32mm) diameter and around 6" long. The flange at the
end slips over pipe with the same diameter (1 1/4) and I believe they
have a thread at the flange end which has been cut off for use in the
application shown. I am advised these pipes may be some under sink joint
of some type.

Please ignore the 45 degree cut at the end these has been cut this way
for the present use (motorcycle exhaust extensions) which are home made.

Are you sure they are chromed? It is a brittle metal and difficult to cut
without flaking. The lack of corrosion inside or.on the cut end and the
colour make it look more like polished stainless steel to me.

My question, based upon several decades of working with chrome plated brass
and with stainless steel, was whether the original pipes in the picture were
really chrome plated, not whether you could find something that looks like
them that was.

Oi! There's enough junk[1] in skips already, thanks.

because you're a Telford pikey

that's all they have

now if you were to move down the road to Shrewsbury, you'd find much
more upmarket cast offs

The d-i-y way would be to buy a length of 35mm copper pipe from a plumbing
supplier, do any work you need to make it fit, polish it well, then get it
plated, although you might need to search around for platers who still do a
decent job of chrome. The finish will be better and you won't have any cut
edges showing. Most metal stockists should be able to supply you with a bit
of stainless steel tube of the right size, if you prefer that, but some
people find it difficult to work.

I blame the layout in Telford. When we lived in Hounslow there were
light industrial units spread all over the borough 'cos it'd grown up
over centuries - the skips were wonderful. Never needed to buy steel or
often wood. It was just lying there waiting to be used.
Telford's industrial areas are nowhere near the houses so there's little
opportunity to skipcycle anything.
