Exhaust Makeover baby yeah!!!

[Sempyder]

Well, after 3 years of Michigan road lovin. My exhaust was exhausted. So I cleaned it up in my utility sink down to pure naked metal, taped her off and gave her a final wipe of isopropyl alcohol then dressed her up for another 20k of road lovin.
VHT high temp paint 6 coats first 3-4 coats were thin 10 min apart last 2 coats were on the heavier side but with no runs.
After carefully reattaching the holding ring mounted her up and fastened her down.
Here is the important part. Cure the paint from the inside out per instructions on can. Run for 10 min cool for 20 run for 10 cool for 20 then run at normal operating for 30 then cool. Or you could bake it in your oven but my wife wasn't ok with this plus she wouldn't fit so that was a no go.

You should be able to pick it up at any autozone / advanced auto parts. About $10 for the paint $8 for high temp primer. But I didn't use primer due to going down to bare metal.

I took the easy way: removed the gihugic stock muffler and installed a smaller, lighter, prettier Yoshimura R77 pipe WITH internal baffle. Took about 30 minutes, start to finish.
