Brass wire brushes can remove a lot of the final corrosion and leave a nice,"Burnished" finish or if once used and you don't like the finish the Metal polish usually works even better after the Burnishing.

That is not a bad idea. I used Emery cloth on the replacement front header I bought. It does exactly the same thing and removes the top surface of the SS, leaving a sort of burnished finish that comes up pretty well with a bit of Autosol stainless cleaner. Either mechanical method will remove a bit of the metal’s thickness, but then so will the chemical processes (Harpic &c). The SS on the original pipes is pretty thick and seems to be good quality, so it will take quite a bit of scrubbing and polishing.
