I was inspired by stangmode on YouTube... I did something today, a simple rag with mothers polish works damn good. .... These tips didn't look good at all from day one.

Yep, I've done that for 2 decades and it works incredible on stainless tips.

Looks nice. My black tips are starting to look rough.

Definitely the stuff you want to use. I didn't think they would shine this well, but they came out good, I like them.

The tips on the '18 are embarrassing. Single wall with a little chrome or something on them and I haven't been able to make them look decent.



Yours look great!

You can get the 18s to look like Chrome, 2000 grit sandpaper if you really wanted to look good or use one of those polishing power balls in a drill, just go try the mothers first... There's a kid on YouTube who removed his entire stainless exhaust on his 15 and up, used 2000 grit sandpaper on a DA sander and then polished it out with the wheel... His entire exhaust looks like chrome.

Anyone know if the tips are stainless and not plated? I like the sand and polish idea if true.

I would have polished the inside of the tips as well to complete the transformation.

What completes the transformation is the mufflers, the mufflers polish up nicely.... 10 minutes with a dish scrubby and mothers.... Before and after... Not bad.
