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
|
^ Tony did you get those nasty looking tips cleaned up?
They were looking really shitty bud |
^^ harsh
|
Mothers FTW.......used them yesterday and my exhaust tips are like new...very shiny
|
Polished up the mufflers tonight. After 2 and a half years it's still looking real good.
Here it is when I installed it. http://www.altspace.com/rx8/rb_exhaust_install2.jpg Today. After polishing. http://www.altspace.com/rx8/exhaust_polish.jpg http://www.altspace.com/rx8/polished_tips1.jpg http://www.altspace.com/rx8/polished_tips2.jpg |
Looking good.
I'm leaning towards the RB exhaust myself. |
Nice and shiny!
|
Okay, so Mother's wins. I got some. :beer05::beer05:
|
where can i get mother's at?
|
Got mine at Auto Zone.
|
brillo pads ftw! 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! |
guys, wax the exhaust tips after you cleaned them, much easier to keep them clean.
|
what about TI tips?
|
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.

Josh I'm pretty sure your RB is more polished now than when you first got it, lol. Great work.
|
The canisters are for sure. Hehe.
|
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.
