I like my pipes polished!

NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I feel you on your hands wanting to fall off and die. Your pipes make me miss my bassani pipes, never should have traded them for the SLP:nonono:
They came out awesome.:thumbsup:
I love the bassanis! This is my 2nd polished set. I just couldn't bring myself to putting the borla's back on. I enjoy being able to think when driving.... Now that these turned out ok, guess it is time to sell the borlas
I still say I'm surprised no exhaust manufacturer has offered polishing as an option. It is so much nicer looking than a non-polished setup. And in this case the polished steel goes really well with the Sonic Blue paint. Well done! :beer:
looks phenomenal.
I approve. :thumbsup:
thanks guys. this set was harder to do than the borla's I did over the winter. I almost gave up on them and put them on the back burner, but coming back from myrtle beach last week, I wanted to get them on the car before the car went on display at summit.
I had 6 people ask me while loading the car on the table at summit if the tail pipes were chrome'd. I said Yeah, with 2500 grit...lol

Your before and after is the exact reason why this should be done to all Terminators!! It may be painful, but the result is absolutely awesome.
Looks awesome on sonic blue , now everbody behind you will have something to stare at......
looks awesome man. polished ftw
nice job. I think every terminator owner should take the time to do this mod it makes a big difference.
Looks great!
Wicked job on the pipes:rockon:
Looks kick ass, just make sure thats your weekend car.
wow, You would never think that was polished. I know it has been shown here before on another thread but how did you do it? Instructions would be nice. I want to do my exhuast now :rolling:
Lots of sand paper...
Started with a scotchbrite pad on a die grinder to get rid of the crimp marks from the bending when it was manufactured...then
180 grit
220grit
320 grit
500grit
800 grit
1000 grit
1500 grit
2000 grit
2500 grit
Then hit it with a little polish, all my hand.
anyone with a stainless exhuast can do this. I recommend spending as much time as you can with the lower grits to get rid of all the sanding marks. Once you get it really mark free with the 500 grit, the rest goes quick. It sucks having to re-sand an area because there are sanding marks in it, and after 2000 grit, it looks like chrome. I tried a couple air sanding tools, but it just made it worse to try and fix...
