Polished up the mufflers tonight. After 2 and a half years it's still looking real good.
Here it is when I installed it.
Today. After polishing.

Re: exhaust tips
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!

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

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.
