.... that will give you any advantage ??

It could !
then again , it could give you a disadvantage !!
It all about heat radiation from the surface. More from a matt surface and less from a polished surface.
Less heat radiated from the polished exhaust means a hotter exhaust system which will alter the effective "tuned length" of the pipe.
The benefits are debatable but Rotax regs specifically regulate pipe finish for this reason !
