Talk to a local polishing shop. It might not be as expensive as you think. I get under mine when I think about it to keep it clean. I usually give it a good cleaning before a show.
I have no problem doing the work, the whole part of finding a lift to take the exhaust off, store the car & put back on is my issue. I don't want to have it on jackstands and be on my back in the garage putting it back on. The catback isn't in bad shape either, I think it would clean up pretty quickly.
I had swapped cat backs due to a ticket so I took advantage. The rest just makes you sound old.
But I understand. If I had a lift I'd use it a lot.@MissV8der, you need to work on that tailpipe alignment.

Lol...Yeah it kinda bothers me that the left side is a little lower (looking at it from the back). It's been like that since I put it on. It was a P.I.T.A putting it on by myself and I struggled with the hangers, and tbh I'm not even sure how to make it line up better. I've tried to get under it and see if I could line it up a little better, but it really doesn't budge. So, I've kind of accepted that it's asymmetrical; kinda like me

Strange, my left pipe hangs lower, too. I just ordered new hangar insulators...hoping that helps. What exhaust system is that?

If it's a Borla you have to twist it at the joint right in front of the diff. I used a piece of 2x4 on a jack to put the pipes where I wanted them. Then I twisted the joint to get everything to stay. It took a couple tries, but it works out in the end.
Bassani 3" ...Let me know if it works, I might have to do the same if it does.
Nah, Bassani...but I might try to twist it a little where it goes in at the mufflers since it's bolted up to the mufflers separately. I never thought about that and it seems like the common sense thing to try
My Bassani hangs a little on the left side as well.

Yup, bassani here, too. Hmmm
I'll be unboxing and polishing my 3" bassani exhaust tonight.
I purchased a pipe and tube sander though so hopefully it cuts way down on time.
I also used the 2x4 method on my Magnaflow and it worked well.

This makes me kind of glad I didn't go with Bassani recently. The off center pipes would kill my OCD. I went through that enough with my old Mac system.
I love the sound of the bassani 3”, especially with my kooks long tubes and 3” xpipe. I had to dump them at the muffler because of my ARB.

My Bassani sounds awesome with ARH headers and o/r x pipe. I have those ceramic coated. I may one day do that with the Bassani catback. Less maintenance than polishing, though it won't shine as nice.

Started the polishing last night. So far so good. Pipe sander works great.
