I think the current tips on the stock ti exhaust are either polished, ss, or chrome.

Are you looking for bigger pipes, or more shine?

Sure will, and look good. Just remember and don't make the mistake or get lazy and not polish in between them and bottoms, as that just makes it look like you should be driving a mustang.

I can take some pictures of a set-up you can buy for about $15 plus the cost of a corded drill. It will have to wait until Monday 06-7-10 to post. Gotta take some crappy i-phone pics during daytime hours on the weekend and then load 'em Monday at work.

Later.

Sorry to say, but that stuff is not in my plan.... if you have perfect polished metal, that never dull makes it horrible. I call it "Never-Shine"


*edit* I should say that Nevrdull is a good product if the final finish isn't highly polished. If a slightly oiled, bright rubbed apprearance is your target then Nevrdull is a choice.

Yeah, I tried some of the Eaglo One nano polish but didn't have much success. Would be nice to have them shiny without dropping 800 bucks on a new catback system.

Never dull works good, and also Mother's Metal polish is always good and can hardly be beat.
