Exhaust looks amazing. Great job. I really want to do this but my slp1 catback is like two pieces with clamps. Is it even worth doing with those clamps?

Thank you. I'd still do it. Polish the clamps too and it will all blend together

Man those tail pipes turned out freaking great man. Well done !!
thank you. Honesty these types of projects are my favorite. Put some good music on, drink 22 cups of coffee spaced out evenly over 10 hours and get to it! :)

Wow that exhaust turned out awesome! Thats one thing I want/need to do on mine, but the grueling process of doing it by hand is hard to get over. Maybe I just need to sack up.

This just in....polishing a trashed pair of raw stainless tailpipes is labor intensive

So far I’ve made it through:
Red scotchbrite
400 grit
600 grit
800 grit
1000 grit
1200 grit
1500 grit
2000 grit

2500, 3000, 5000 and 7000 to go and then onto machine polishing.

I’ll just show you the before for now lol

Man, truer words have never been spoken. Think I sat in the front yard sanding for a few hours everyday after work for a week. It sucked, but the end results were WELL worth it.

Well debating on taking the car cover off....but I'd have to start the car. Roads are not car good yet. But need to change the oil. Hmm

Roads are getting better here. Could be better though. But mine may come out Sunday supposed to be 69 and sunny.

Temp wise it's suppose to be about the same. But there is still salt and dirt everywhere. Not worth it here.

Salts been long gone here. Street sweepers have been running rampant. That said just some potholes I’ve seen around that still need patched. I drove the wife’s Escape and people prolly thought I was texting on one road I was dodging a few of them.

Saw a small puddle of antifreeze under my coupe over the weekend, looks like the actual radiator fins have a slight leak somewhere.

Now I get to figure out what radiator to replace the obsolete stock unit... Unless it can be repaired - do places still even repair radiators anymore?

Weird cuz my other car has almost twice the mileage and the radiator is still fine.

Go up some pages in this thread. I had the exact same thing happened. Got my radiator repaired. $60 and it’s amazing.
