Polishing the stock exhaust

[rudyrivera1189]

Hey all, I've been reading that how to polish your exhaust thread but was wondering if you can polish the stock exhaust? It may sound like a waste of time however it looks like whoever had the car before me had brought the car somewhere and had them cut out the mufflers and put in pipes. It's pretty loud so I don't mind rocking these until I get another cat back hopefully this summer. Even if I can clean them up a bit I don't mind as long as I'm not wasting my time. I'll post pics from my phone so you can see what I'm working with here.

Does anyone know is that type of metal will clean up at all? It looks like crap..

sorry but those look beyond polishable.

Ya, those are pretty far gone. You could knock the rust off with a flapper wheel, but the pipes would still be badly pitted. Get another catback ASAP, Cobras deserve better than straight pipes.

Lol I figured that. The previous owner took the cheap way out. I was looking at the borla stingers but might hold out until I move to fl. Nj roads will mess it up badly since its my dd.

unfortunatly, i wouldn't touch that. Since theyre that corroded. You might actually prematurely kill your pipes if you grind any on them.. better off riding until they blow out or you can afford a catback & take the effort in that.
