I'm surprised no one has started this thread yet. It's time to show off all of that hard work spent polishing your exhaust. Let's see all of your polished IRS exhaust pipes. :rockon:

I did mine about a year ago and it's one of my favorite appearance mods I've done to my car. It took me roughly 8 hours total, spending a couple hours each day to work on them.

A year later with only a little bit of Mother's Polish here and there. My car is a DD.

You did a nice job. There have been quite a few polished exhaust threads over the past year. Most are polished stainless steel. The aluminized don't polish up quite as nicely as the stainless, but they definitely look really nice. Again, nice job! :beer:

I really want to come over and get mine to shine like that. :rockon:

They have to be SS to polish, you won't get a mirror finish with aluminized pipes. My first couple pics compare the polished SS pipes next to the ugly aluminized pipes.

I don't have very many good pictures, but my camera isn't great either.
