wow i never realized the effect of running a midpipe on your tips. i realized that they got dirty quickly, but that stuff does NOT want to come off haha
I went from the Racing Beat to the AP system... for the sound I was looking for, the AP is awesome. . . but seeing these pics of the polished tips makes me miss the RB. The single walled tips of the AP just scream rice. . . but i'll still rock it.
hey everyone im new on this forum and i just bought an 04 rx8. i just had some questions about cleaning exhaust tips and rims.
first: are the stock exhaust tips supposed to be shiny? they look that way in the pictures but mine are completely black. i tried some never dull and they turned lighter but not shiny.
second: after doing some searching ppl are saying that the rims are painted surfaces. i just bought some black magic cleaner can i use that?
and one last thing doesn't belong in this section but everytime i have my car in neutral and step off the clutch, there is a rattling noise. does anyone else have this problem?
thanks for all the help!
I will try to help you in your problem. I am expert of making your exhaust shine. Can I know your contact information so that I can provide you with the one you need.
When I bought mine, I thought the exhaust was painted black, I cleaned it and it didn't change colour, then I noticed the underneath was chrome so using some 000 grade wire wool and some autosol I polished the tips and they are now as good as new and very shiny
Here's my 2004 oem exhaust with about 60K miles on it. Took me 10mins to clean them. They only got that dirty because a friend was using my exhaust for awhile.
Id have to agree, mothers all the way. hadnt cleaned my tips in about 4 years and there was quite a bit of carbon build up. i run the rb catless mid pipe as well.
