Good Day Everyone,
I just recently picked up a 2011 Grand Sport, Targa, manual. I was looking at several cars, and the moment I drove this one I had to have it. I went all the way down to Dallas for it, and the very next day she n I got chased by an eF5!
I have worked as in Engineer is various fields, and I used to work for a classic Corvette restoration / late model mod shop many, many moons ago. But this is my first Vette!
Nice to join with you.

Hey, I have my first question for you guys. I tried searching but the solutions don't quite fit my problem (and Im WAY to OCD to leave it alone).
The original owner of this Vette had pulled the fuse for the NPP exhaust. I love the sound all the time, however, he NEVER cleaned the center tips. I have tried every cleaner including acetone, they just do not remove the black stain. Can I use some steel wool or a Brillo type pad on these? Are the exhaust tips just uncoated stainless steel?
Thanks!
