Question

Maybe the wrong forum, but whatever.

As you all know, I have the 4" rolled stainless tips on my Borla catback. Well, since I got the ProChamber put on, the tips have started turning black. I bought some Flitz metal polish to clean them off, but it didn't work. They're still black and nasty. Any suggestions as to how to clean them?

Turtle wax Chrome Polish always helps on Jeanne's stainless tips.

Re: Question

It's cause there aren't any cats to clean the "black" out of the exhaust anymore. I use the turtle wax chrome polish to clean mine. Don't do this when they're hot btw. Wait for them to cool off.
