OK, everyone who has the RB exhaust... Did yours turn gold? I know its from the heat but I mean damn its like bling bling gold now.
Heres some pics of it.. lemme know if mine looks like yours.

 

another..

 

Not that good of a shot of the exhaust but a good pic nonetheless..

 

wil it polish back out ? looks like tarnish to me .

 

ps how loud is that thing ?

 

nope wont polish out ive tried. As far as loud.. it isnt.. nice and low deep tone. I love it. I didnt want anything that was overbearing when I drive, well see though Im going to order my mid pipe in a week or so. That should make it a bit louder.

 

Yep, turns gold from heat. Not sure if that's a plus or minus.

The stainless steel tip on my FD's exhaust did the same thing. I think its just one of those things that happens...there is probably a way to clean it up, but it will just continue.

It is a plus IMO. At least it looks great on my Red 8. Update us when you get the mid pipe. I am intersted in knowing how it sounds.

 

thanks for the post. I'm looking at the RB also and this is great info. I'd be kinda bent if my tips that I tought were supposed to be chrome and shinny, turned gold, and I had no good explination why.

Did you call RB to find out why? Is this something that only RB exhaust tips do?

After looking at the pics again, it doesn't look that bad.

 

I've had my JIC exhaust for 5 months now and its turned Gold also

 

That is something very common with stainless steel as it gets hot. It will go from silver to blue to purple if it gets hot enough. This is really most evident on headers though since there is so much heat there. There isn't anything you can do about it other than painting or powercoating it. Just stop lying under your car admiring your exhaust all day!

 

are the tips turning gold or only the parts under the car?

 

well, I don't have a RB exhaust, but the tips on my HKS exhaust have also turned gold.

I guess the rotary just has the Midas touch

 

GUYS i had that problem and called racing beat about it a few weeks ago,spoke to jim and told me to use mothers ,try it and looks great now but every week or so i have to do the same thing.

 

well thanks for saving me the trouble smrx8 . Mine have been gold for a long time..

 

Very cool didnt think the mothers would take it out. I really dont mind the gold tint at all just wanted to make sure everyones had done the same. I had heard that RB might be making their catback with heat treated tips to prevent the color change but I guess they decided against it obviously.

 

this might be a stupid question, but what is "Mothers"?

 

its a company that sells auto detailing products

 

ITS a wheel polish ,something like a wax used for cleaning chrome ,aluminium ITS BEEN AROUND FOR A LONGGGG TIME.

 

Mine also turned gold

 

i have mothers car wax its not only for wheels

 

http://www.mothers.com/

see its for CAR waxes TOO not only for wheels

PS it is no where compared to Zaino

 

Yeah i know they have car wax, what i was saying he told me to use the wheel polish not the car wax.
