Red knight, amazing job, hopefully one day I'll get round to doing mine

Sorry but I feel a stuid question coming on

Why have I got a link pipe and RK hasnt?

Cleaning stainless steel headers is one thing, if anyone has any tips on how to brighten up the link pipe (Titanium) on an Akrapovic slip on it'd be appreciated! Mine's pretty good but if I ever get down to doing the headers, might as well go the whole hog!

I wouldn't bother polishing the ti pipe. It will turn brown again very soon - unless others know of a way to keep it shiny. I polished the down pipes on my 12s and had to start it briefly and get it up to operating temp and they started to discolour almost immediately but it means it almost matches the ti Akrapovic. Maybe a a rub over with solvol but I don't think you're going to get it super shiny

Ok thanks, makes sense!
