Thanks for the write up. Looks amazing!

 

Looks good. Please let me know if it is durable and lasts… thx

 

Very nice!

 

Any pictures of how they look from farther away?

 

So I buy some ceramic coating exhaust paint to color by tips black. I spray 5 coats of this 2000 degree ceramic coating on the tips after a series of cleaning and sanding. I text a friend a pic and he asks "don't you have to bake them now"? I laugh to myself then I actually read all of the directions - bake at 250 x 30 min then 400 x 30 min then 600 x 30 minutes. In the oven now and thanking a friend for setting me straight.

 

No dinner tonight.

 

LOL same here. I used the VHT Matte Black. I will do a clean cycle once its finished.

 

When everything else fails, I also occasionally read directions

 

 

Ooo that DOES look nice

 

Done

 

Love this.


Its been a week and it completely blacks out my car. I did have a small peal on one of the tips but, I just taped the tip on the car, resanded the area and sprayed it installed. This would have been fine if I dedicated more time in the preparation process.


I ran the car for 15 minute's, cooled it, and reran it for 1 hour. It blend perfect. I cant tell where the peel was.


I have to mention, after spraying the tip, the tip was darker (where I sprayed.) Until I did this cycle, it blended perfectly and the touch up was unnoticed.

 

Curious to see how the results have lasted over the year. How do the tips come off? Thinking of doing mine as well.

 

Two 13 MM nuts from stright under the tip to remove. (one nut for each tip). 5 Minute job to remove. You may need to tap on them or spread the flange a bit as they can get stuck pretty good.

It's a clamp that connects it to the exhaust outlet pipe. If it warms up around here we could do both of ours.
