So since I've had my headers on for about 8,000 miles I have noticed my tips have gotten pretty stained. I polished the heck out of them prior to install just for the sake of it, but I do let the car warm up regularly during morning starts and they have turned a bronze-ish color. Is it even worth polishing them again or is this going to be a constant issue? Think I may be running a tad rich?

Catless BTW.

I have read that there is no way and no product that will help exhaust tips from carboning up/sooting/staining-whatever.

What I have read is that the only thing one can do is every night, after parking the car, to take a damp rag and wipe the tips off. Keeping up with them is the only consensus as to how to prevent the staining.

I have some stuff in my tool box that takes it off. I'll get a picture of it this afternoon. It don't prevent it from staining and such, but it does make it easy to remove it.

Check into a small silver tub named "NevrDull"

It does amazing things, but you DO have to keep up with it.

Like smokers who smoke in their house for 25+ years, you get a non-smoker to come over and they are amazed at how "coated" everything is. Your non-cat exhaust system is doing the same, alebit just on the tips of your exhaust system, and the environment.

Try the nevrdull stuff, I have it and it's amazing. But it does also require elbow grease.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works like a champ. Every wash I take it to the tips and after 20K miles my solos look like new. Takes all of 1 minute a tip.

I agree, Magic Erasers are, well, magical. They work very well, then again, they are the equivalent of 3400 grit sandpaper.

Never Dull works great. Then sometimes I follow that with Mothers metal polish and they turn out awesome. I will have to try the magic erasers. Sounds like they work really well.

Love Nev-r-Dull. Use it all the time. Short of getting cats installed you'll just have to keep up with them more.

I actually have been using the never dull product, works pretty well but won't keep them clean for too long... I am going to switch to this product I've heard about called Flitz, heard it's one of the best you can buy, I think you can only get it online... http://www.flitz.com/p-16-flitz-polish-paste.aspx

This stuff is magic, I swear by it.

Wow, just used magic eraser tonight and it was super easy. I highly recommend it.

I also tried some "0000" steel wool on only the inside and that worked very well too. Just follow up with some polish and they look new!
