OK I think they re done now. Just need a nice day to mount them and see how they sound. I deviated a bit from the original plan once I saw how nice the cans shined up and I think I like the outcome. I just painted the piping black and the area between the muffler can and tips black as well. Everything else was shined up

Prepping for Paint



After Painting



I applied heat with a heat gun to cure the high temp paint and then used some polish and cleaner to shine them up. Borla actually makes it's own and it worked really well!

Once the paint has cured and all shined up!











Anyone wanna buy them? lol

 

Just a reminder of what I started with



After

 

Good work OP, I knew you had it in ya

 

They came out nice man!

 

Great job, now you have freed up some cash for the parts of the exhaust that matter!!!

 

When I have time to bolt these on, can I use the same gaskets that are on my car? Or should I get new ones?

 

Man, what a difference a little "elbow grease" and sandpaper made! Let's see em' in stalled.

 

nice job so far man! good stuff

 

Update:

Finally had some time to install them today.



Size comparison



Done












In some of the photo's one of them may look slightly bent but I assure you everything in straight. For some reason the camera makes it look weird

Also I installed my K&N's today



And I know you guys like video's so here is a quick one I made this afternoon after I cleaned her all up
