A good scrub would be a dozen laps on the track. It will not separate from the exhaust pipe it's attached to. Mazda did a very deep crimp on the pipe. If you pull the u clamp off you'll see what I mean.

And how would and why would you "scrub" it?

I think we are having a language problem here.

Yes your correct, we do seem to have language problem on what i'm asking for... In the UK we call the muffler a cat back or silencer or just rear box srry for that.
But i do see what you mean by the crimp on the pipe .... all i want to do make it gleam.

Just follow the catalytic converter and see where the exhaust hooks up
Then remove the hangers and you should be done... Polishing it will be a pain in the back!
