Yeah I sanded the pipes with 320 grit and its High heat paint so it will stay..

yeah the rest of the undercarriage will get the treatment eventually... (very time consuming lol)

SO these are the same set you were going to trade me for the Borla duals and then dissappeared and never responded to PMs or anything? Way to be a man. All you had to do was say you had a change of mind.

I hope you used a primer coat before applying the paint. Otherwise, the paint won't stick well over time. Noce job on the Borla polishing!
