Polished Exhaust

Saw a few other threads, which I can't find now, about polishing the Cobra exhaust. I tried for about 5 minutes to do it myself and realized I would be there all weekend. Sent it out and got it back to day, love the results. This is a 15 year old Bassani Stainless cat-back that has about 40,000 miles on it.

If you are in Central PA, I got it done at Accent Metals in York. Talk to Travis @ 717-699-5676. $350 took about a week.

Looks good. Yes it is very time consuming and a lot of elbow grease if you choose to do the polishing yourself.

Looks good. I put a few post out offering polishing service. Didn’t get many interested.

Looks good! But, no pain, no gain. This is easily a DIY. You just gotta want it. I've done several sets. It just takes a little time..

You can do it all by machine....no need to put your hands through all that nonsense. LMAO But yes, been there done that once. Looks good OP.

Looks awesome. I was wondering if I should have pulled the mufflers as well and polished the back surface, but maybe that is too much.

That looks awesome Doug.

Looks great. I would never do it by hand again. I’m getting too old for that crap

I did my vert's about 6 years ago. For 4 years now, my coupe has been waiting. Might pay this time.

Funny you mention mufflers. I've thought of that too, but once the axle back is done, the thrill is gone! Lol.

Thanks Man. I was gonna do the CO car over the winter, never got too it. They've been polished years ago by the original owner so they won't be too bad. (I hope).
The SB car's were terrible at first. I went from mega crud needing 100 grit to cut it, finished with 3000 grit.

Looks great. Years ago when I did this, I finished my tail pipes, then started working on my muffler section. Few mins into it I decided I have better things to do.

LOL yup me too. My exhaust was brand new just out of the box when i started to polish it. I had hopes and dreams to do the whole thing but after doing just the tailpipe sections I came to my senses.

Some of my work. 2 sets Borla 1 Magnaflow

LMAO!!!! Yep, I can definitely relate. I think I did ONE pipe over a weekend and then every day after work I would work on the other one for about 3 days. Got it all done by hand and then used my drill with a cotton wheel to finish it off.

I need to do my vert, but between work, painting diecast cars and making sure I live by Happy wife=Happy Life, I don't have time LMAO!!!!

AFTER:




Then I tried to copy C6ZHombre. His still looks better LOL

^^^ Just had to check Glenn, my die cast SB Vert is polished from mufflers back!

To OP I’m kinda not impress with the polish how it turn out for the price . I seen some came out like mirror . Your kinda dull . Idk

Do any of you ceramic coat it after polishing?

I just added a couple coats of Liquid Glass after useing White Diamond polish, after the last 3000 grit run.
Ceramic would be a good idea though, anything to protect the surface would be a benefit.
