Title: Exhaust turning brown
Post by: Jayhawk on May 20, 2011, 02:52:59 PM
First Post, long time lurker.
I recently had a spark plug problem with my bike that was making my exhaust super hot, I'm talking it was spitting flames hot. Well I got that fixed and it looks like it has turned my exhaust brown on the end. I was wondering if anyone knows a fix for this?

There are a few products out there that claim to remove oxidation from chrome pipes, I'm not sure how well they work though, considering the pipe is just going to get hot again later. If you google chrome oxidation remover you'll find a few, I've never tried them though since my pipes are ceramic coated. Good luck.

A little automatic transmission fluid (cheapo Dexron) on a Scotch-Brite scuffing pad can work wonders on rusty chrome  :thumb:
