Your local Autozone, Pepboys or Advance Auto Parts carries it.

how did it turn out? cause u can kinda see the stock paint on it or w/e peeling and cracking and it kinda looks bad. What did u have to tape off?

**Dudesky** · 08-25-2005, 05:26 PM

I was thinking of getting chrome tips . . what do u guys think? Would that look retarded?

Well, first I sanded the all exahusts down as much as possible, then I taped the all thing off leaving just the exhaust and repainted it. I painted it from the tips to the cats that are close to the tips. (yes I used a lift)

I think if you got chrome tips it would look like an e36 m3 exhaust as long as they are round not the curved ones that stick out a bit. Not DTM style, but the ones where the tips are diagonal if you were looking at them from the side.

here this is some good stuff i used it on a engine i rebuilt a couple months back withstands heat well. up to 1200 Degrees
they have it at Autozone or kragen youll see it in the paint section.

aka you mean it's rusting out so it sounds like it's an aftermarket exhaust?
