Ever since the h pype has been introduced - my exhaust tips are nasty looking... They have a black/goldish tint to them. I clean with soap/water and am not having any luck.
Ahhhh, the downside of that combo The lack of cats to burn off all the gases stains them. So far, that combo is the only one I've heard doing this. Between that and the honeycomb tail panel, I'd swear I have a Harley I use Eagle One metal polish then apply a coat of wax from just beyond "Flowmaster" to the tip. That makes it easy enough to wash with a mitt for about a month. It all depends on how often they get wet(rain/washes)as to how often it needs to be done.
yep. polish the tips once in a while, and the buildup comes off with regular washings. (assuming that you manually wash your car and scrub everything down)
I just got some soap and water and used the tooth brush i use to clean my sneakers. good as new but i wouldnt mind using that never dull to make them look better
I have yellowed tips with stock cats and Pypes MDs. That happens mainly from doing HPDEs I think in my case. One of these days I'll just hit them with a Scotchbrite pad, but otherwise it really doesn't bother me much.
