Just got my new exhaust, and as expected from an eBay product it came to me in not-quite-as-described quality and despite numerous attempts to contact the seller/exhaust manufacturer I’m gauging all of my possibilities here.
So I wanted a nice, clean, free-flowing, light exhaust with burnt tips because I like them and I’m a ricer at heart, well out of those 4 requirements I got 3.5 :sad
As you can see it looks like it was ‘burnt’ by someone with severe mental disabilities…my question is this:
Could I maybe polish this off and burn it in myself with a torch or something? I haven’t tried for fear of the vandor or maunfacturer emailing me back saying send it back to them for an exchange or something.
Polish it off…no. To “re-blue” it you need to rapidly heat the metal to just before it melting point(~1700 degrees in this case) and then rapidly cool it in an oil bath…
Can be done, not sure how it would turn out with tips in that current condition though.
That looks like it was heated unevenly…and in all honesty is how it would look from the real thing
Real thing as in when it happens for real out in the race world on big tuned race cars that constantly spit flame out the pipe. Common on short exhaust Porsche turbos… show you some of the Porsche Cup stuff that has that “burnt” look and it sure didn’t roll out of Fabspeed or whatever like that
The complete blue ring crap is done by electromagnetic heating and cooling at a factory. It’ll never look like that for real as you can’t get that perfect even heating by mere engine flame…
