backed the car in to close to the curb and scraped the chrome on one of my tips, looking at it, there doesn't seem to be a way of taking it off for a quick re-chrome and fix. What now? any suggestions other then buying a whole new system.

 

hack them off and install new tips. Make it unique

 

Honestly I don't know how to fix it, but if it was me, that'd be a great excuse to get a Borla exhaust system.

 

lol Mani, thats what i would do...hehe

The tips are not chrome by the way, its stainless steel, so perhaps try to get some polish and go that route. Or just wait a month and get a new exhaust sys for about $650 [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

don't know that I've ever tried it (anyone can call me dumb on this one), but since it's stainless steel, maybe you could get several diff grades of sandpaper and sand it out????? then, buff out the roughness left by the finer grades of sandpaper???
maybe using a buffing tool or even by hand?

hey, guys out there, I'm just guessing. but is stainless steel more than just a few mils thick so that xthecat could do this? or would s/he scrape right thru to some non-stainless steel thus providing a point for rusting out?

hope it's possible, otherwise, it's not Bud time...it's Borla time! good luck. tell us the outcome, please.

well, I scraped the small rusty spots out with a penknife and then applied a bit of clearcoat to it as a sealant....time will tell

 

lol I ordered my Borla, then proceded to scrape my exaust twice! Both times It was Ok cause The Borla is on order so I dont care. Now I know where to be careful though which is good.

 

Go to a muffler shop, you can get 2 new chrome tips for about $50 installed.

Life is to short to argue on the Internet!
