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.

theres no way around. All exhauts are doing this.

:Eyecrazy: Thanx Guys.....
IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN HAVE MY GREDDY TIPS LOOK LIKE TITANIUM BESIDE REPLACING THEM... AND NO I DONT WANT TO BE RICE IS THAT I WOULD LIKE THEM BETTER THAN THE GOLD FINISH ;)

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

what!!! I LOVE the gold color.....oh well.

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 :crazy: ), it's less work since it takes less than five minutes per tip to maintain the shine.

This will fix your problem.

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.
