Never Dull used every week might help a little but your dealing with a heat / metal issue that based on the design will always be there. The reason the OEM’s don’t turn is that the tips & tail pipes are two different parts; while on the Greddy it’s one. They have to cut corners somewhere to get it under $600.

yeah, rotary exhaust heat temperature is to blame

try NEVR-DULL, but you may be forced to use a more aggressive cream polish or rouge if it progresses too far

Nevr-Dull is the boss....used religiously almost every weekend for about five months now, can keep those stainless tips looking like new. Here's a recent pic...

Isn't the HKS Legamax $1,000 and has the DBL wall tip design? I doubt yours would turn gold at all.

The Legamax has single wall tips....that's why I'm so intent on the weekly treatment since others have said theirs turned gold.

Thx BigO...but actually, if you nevr-dull weekly (along with yer weekly car wash ), it's less work since it takes less than five minutes per tip to maintain the shine.

Has anyone tried the Mothers Billet Polish?

I have used it on my SS strakes and all my aluminum engine caps. Works better than any other polish I have tried.
