The exhaust tip that came on my car is meant to be a nice stock chrome finish, but ever since i got the car it has actually been a nice shade of black. Today I spent about 3 hours scrubbing it with degreaser, chrome cleaner, wheel cleaner etc, basically all the ones from those trick guides on the net. So while stumbling around the net I found this apex'i exhaust tip and was wondering if anyone has used one of these before? It says it bolts on but not sure how good it actually is, and for the price ($165 delivered) would I just be better off saving for a whole new muffler? I quiet like the stock one, nice and quiet, just is ugly at the moment. Or does anyone have a better suggestion for restoring the chrome tip to its full glory? |

thats a pretty sexy tip, but pricey. if you just want plain s/steel, go to supercheap & look at their range- maybe cut one down, if too long. |

if you can remove the muffler....coke (as in the coke we drink) works really well if you can soak it for a while. loosens things up a bit. |
