Default magnaflow clean up n polish,

Ok I made a trade with a member,my lm1 for his magnaflow,he is a really nice guy and everything went great trade wise.I knew since his car was a daily driver it was gonna be in bad shape appearance wise.I didn't care just was happy I got what I wanted,other than beeing dirty its in good shape.I took some pics of what I have done so far and how it was before,I don't claim to be a master polisher or anything,trust me I know guys that have way more skills than I do.first pics of when I got it

Nice work! What sand paper did you use for that? I'm also trying to trade my LM for a magnaflow. I'll probably just end up buying one. Post up sound clips when you get it bolted on. We have similar mods so I'm sure it will sorta the same.

Again Bob, you did a great job on that.

As the former owner of that Magnaflow, I will say this. It had been DD on my car for about year. From time to time I did clean the tip of the tips, not polish. I do go to school and work, leaving less time for other stuff (as this summer I was working 51-60 hrs/wk). I also had other priorities as well. As far as the muffler goes, the driving conditions for me aren't the greatest, hell its easy to scrap when I leave my driveway. I also bought that used and I don't remember the condition it was in since I was happy with the deal.

And further more, Bob and I were very happy with the trade we made.
