Don't be a wuss. A little oil stain never hurt anyone. Just chrome the thing and bling it with gemstones for special 3D effects. :biggrin:

And generally those titanium stained look is done with heat right? If you lost the stain you need to go heat it up with a hot welding tool or a flame thrower. I recommend the flame thrower. Melt body parts is the new black too. Doooooooiiiiiiiittttt

it's gonna take at least 2 days to remove, sand, polish and then install back. :rofl:
Deswai when the car is in the workshop then probably i bring extractor home to molest lol

Find exhaust heat shield cover, cover up......lol:biggrin:
Not enough space d, it's about 1cm away from my aircond fan. Which i already grind off the metal housing a bit. If not cannot fit at all.

Aftermarket header no place to screw heatshield...lol
ya lol

i've tried Autosol on a stainless exhaust manifold but it was a pain as the results were barely substantial or worth the effort to work on the entire manifold. You might be better off sand blasting it and have it thermal coated maybe

just stumbled on this video, there may be hope for polishing paste after all. The video says their polish is different because it is made for stainless steel exhaust specifically and unlike the regular pastes, this product is not aluminium friendly so that might explain its effectiveness for polishing exhausts

Other than Autosol, you try Brasso. Last time Brasso comes in clear liquid form. Now they have the cream version like Autosol. Brasso is a lot stronger tho.

Now I think I need to clean up oil stain on my extractor as well. Tried scraping it off and end up scratching my extractor. But the stain did come off from scratching.

AL is aluminum woh! or for exhaust some mixture becomes alloy......:hmmmm:
Really aluminum? I think it should be because I asked a friend studying degree for chemistry. What is AL. He said should be aluminum. The guy who sold me the exhaust also said this kind of extractor won't rust.

Here are some pic of how it is when stained and after I tried scraping it off.

Actually I just installed this today. :biggrin:
