Exhaust downpipe.

[Tel 4,711]

Afternoon all,

Has anybody tried to deal with the downpipe corrosion/discolouring they all seem to suffer from? I bought the 750X a few weeks ago and it was already like it.

I wondered if it could be treated or painted with heat-resistant exhaust paint [just to tidy it up]?

Cheers, Tel.

Up to you but there is a fella on youtube that cleans his down pipes with harpic or sum such . They come up bling .

its on an old bandit , it does a good job and he’s not to fussy about where it goes . I would cover stuff up but it washes off fine . I would try a little area first though .

It's stainless, just leave it alone, the colour is natural. Anything abrasive will thin the metal, anything acidic or strongly alkaline risks fasteners or anything else close by.

You can polish it to a chrome-like shine, but it will soon go dark again.  If it really bothers you I guess the only option is to paint it.
