Default Exhuast restoration

My factory SS exhuast piping has surface rust(tips look new), what's the best way to get rust off stainless steel efficiantly?

My question, ..., If it's stainless, Why does it have any 'rust'?
Tarnish, yes, but rust?

Then take the lid/bellows too. That dont make much sense. You want it to breathe better but you choke it in the back......

Stainless, break the word up

It takes time funk etc but yes it can and some steel wool or a product like never dull will help restore it some what.

Im not playing so stop acting like a child .....its DUMB to keep a stock exhaust and say a cutout is enough....you dont know what your talking about. If no money is the thing thats another issue but please stop your arrogant attitude. I suggested the catback as a LOGICAL cool thing, in a friendly way. Good luck with it......

pretty sure a cut out, out flows any 1 in 2 out muffler on the market.


Could I possibly know what im talking about if i add some laser cut emblems to my car? Maybe some exhuast tips that belong on a Silverado?

pretty sure after i simply replied to your, "get a new cat back", with "i want to keep it stock". You made the crappy comment, so i wouldn't go there.

I dont think you can do much with the stock pipes. Maybe just get a can of silver spray paint and go to town. Ive done that a few times.

Crappy comment?? Suggesting getting a catback??? Dude WTF is wrong with you?? The only crappy thing here is you attitude. If your broke is nobodys fault, buddy.

Starting to hate my car dont make you look too good either. Way to go...that attitude wont get you far here.

Oh and a rattle can paint solution wont look too good but I guess it will fit your tastes.....

that's the comment

And I'm far from being broke, finance internships pay decent for part time, it's just called priorities. The exhaust system on the car I never drive isn't to high up on the list.

o wait...



just trying to speak your language
