Hey Rob

i had the same problem as you after I installed my traction bars, 1/4" of clearance between the exhaust and traction bar, I had my magnaflow catback installed today and now I have almost 2" of clearance over the traction bar .

 

Thanks to Don making me feel bad, I took sand paper to them

and Ajax
and Brillo
and a sponge type sanding block
and some serious rubbing

Oh well the black is gone from the outside,
the inside aint showing any signs of metal yet, still icky...
(I'm gonna use a drill/wire wheel on that when the snow STOPS) (@#$(#@$(@#$(@#$@(#$(@$#$@$%@$

Right now it looks like dull galvanized,
I tried wet sanding it, didn't help much, but I think
with a can of that cotton looking polishing stuff, it'll look good
when I'm done.
Thanks Don, I had nothing better to do for the next week

 

 

I like mine better





WOW, you don't drive that thing, don't even go there,
nothing stays that clean gadget. That must be the day you put them on ?

 

It may take a while to get them presentable again


But i am working on it

 

It has 16K miles since last february. I drive it alot.

The catback was installed in June 2003, that picture is from December 2003.

And they look just as good after 5 minutes to wipe them off today.

Magnaflow catback is calling your name ronbo!

 

Isn't tip polishing an ole past time of yours Ronbo?
