That's why I had just the headers polished and not the whole exhaust.

I got a deal that is too good to mention (and he made me promise that I wouldn't). I think he said that they normally run about $210 to polish the set. I was hoping to do the install the beginning of the week but it isn't going to happen until tomorrow night. I'll try and post pics once installed.

They are going on the same year and color car as yours. So you'll be able to see what they'd look like if they were on your car. I still think they will hold up a little better than some others think. Maybe not. I don't think that anyone else has ever polished them to that shiny of a finish.

Thanks! Next time I have the car in the air, I will snap some underside pics. I never got a chance to take some when I did the install. Now that I've beat them up for a few weeks and have some passes on them, they are still looking great. I have no regrets of getting the polished. They have a bit of a bronze look to them but they still are highly polished. I actually like the way they look now. Kinda unique but whatever. I can't wait to install my Corsa catback with premium tips. I just had the tips repolished and they look awesome!

At this point, I have no idea when I will get it installed. I'm having some sort of hydraulic issue with my clutch. Once that's fixed, so will the rest.
