So I scored these exhaust tips for "Project Fake Exhaust", don't ask what that is cause it's classifed. ;)

Anyway, these tips seem to be all stainless steel. You can see how rusty they are by looking at the forward section of the tip as I didn't "clean" that part.

Anyway, I was pretty impressed with what some elbow grease was able to do so I thought I'd share a couple of pics.

PS - and yes SOME of you may know where these tips came from too.

No shit, I dont remember them looking THAT bad. You leave them outside till you decided to mess with em Ben? I bet the pics just make them look worse than they are. I know the tips had some shine to em (a little, not covered with rust) when you obtained them.

Good job beeach.

Well I think what accelerated the rust was storing them next to my pool chlorine buckets.

As for the time, I spent about 15 mins on each tip. I didn't do the whole tip. I stopped about 4" shy of that 90^ bend, since I'll be cutting those off anyway.
