Looks good but you do know that that muffler is going to rust quicker than hell now right.......? The steel for that exhaust is an "Aluminized Steel" and the dark coating on it was a corrosion protect-ant. I know this because I am a Sheetmetal Mechanic on airplanes. Your going to have to pull it off and get it anodized so it dosent rust and fall apart eventually. Good concept and looks nice
but will bite you in the *** down the road. Is there a place that does anodizing near you? Or even see if you can get your hands on som "Alodine"

I did this exact mod and it definitely looks great for its price. So tell me how much faster it is going to rust? What about after market exhausts? They aren't coated either.
Besides if You take care of the exhaust with Polish every once in a while, the rust will be prevented. In this case you dont need to pull the exhaust off and get it treated.

High temp clear will come right off in time....when i say " in time " it will wear down...I mean no matter what you do eventually its going to rust...your missing my point here...I'm not trying to down the mod....it looks great...but I'm just saying...that when u take a coating off metal it leaves an exposed layer of metal....unless u properly treat it..I.e. alodine, anodized....and you say you won't worry much about deterioration....and that's ok. Because if you want your stuff to last then you do things the right way...and if u don't then eventually it will show how much you take care of your "stuff"...only way to take "care" of it is to get a corrosion preventive over it

damn nicely done!! only if the rust doesnt happen but JMcDonald is right. Depend on where you live too, without protection to the first layer of metal the first winter you will see rust. If you live in the snow areas where there salt on the ground about a year or 2 you might need a new exhaust system.

I guess what you are saying is that I'm taking care of my stuff wrong and polishing it won't do. And that the only way to "show" I take care of it is by means of treating it.
Besides I don't think a sheetmetal mechanic would wash and Polish such metals on an airplane, something they don't own, as opposed to something they do own such as an exhaust system on their car. These things go through different elements. And I live in Houston so no need to worry about rust under cars.
