See if the powder coating place can vat them for you. Also a angle grinder with a wire wheel should work pretty good.

There's stuff at autozone called aircraft remover. IT's really strong stuff, I am not sure if it will work on the ic pipes, but my friend used it on his valve cover and it stripped it to the bare metal.

Yes it would. But if you can get them dipped, it might be cheaper as there is less labor involved, plus, dipping will clean out any crap collected on the inside of the pipe, as well.
