Dude- you are aboslutely insane- in a good way! Stop polishing those things and install them already. I think you've had them for about a month now and they still are not on the car Anyways, obviously looks good but get to installing! Thats what Im doing today!

I should be getting my Kooks headers and Y soon (if Texas Speed ever gets them off of back-order), and I plan on polishing them before installing them. What did you use to get them to look that good?
