I'm not sure if it would flake on the downpipe or not, it lasted well on my can, but not sure of a downpipe as its gonna be excessively hotter...the only thing that makes me clean my downpipe is the thought of having to spend dosh on another if it gets a hole

The exhuast on it is a stainless steel one but it's not been polished for a long time plus Micron don't list and exhuast for the Raptor.
My SV has got a SS Akra system and that has gone all brown as well

I did get my tube of autosol out once but that's the closest it's got to being polished

I've got some acid rust remover - Jenolite. It's easy to put on, makes a bit of a difference, but wouldn't be permanent.

Will give that a try, need to get it cleaned up first.

But does anyone know if you can powder coat an exhaust and get good results? Or has anyone had an exhaust ceramic coated?
