Hmmmm. What color will I paint my exhaust. Lol

I used VHT on my turbo headers, ran them for 15,000kms, and the paint hasn't flaked off yet

My VHT rusted through on my 92. About half of the front manifold is rust instead of aluminum colored. I just looked at the ranger and it's starting to get spots, but not as bad as the VHT.

Granted the 92 does run a bit hotter than my truck, so take that into consideration.

I was thinking either that or the VHT. Any input on that?

Just remember to paint the tubing and clean the welds really well, then paint them too. Otherwise it'll rust pretty quick. Use engine enamel or something rated for the heat.

I used rustoleum grill paint on the "tube manifold" stock header style exhaust on my truck a couple years ago. It's held up great. It doesn't look like the day I did it, but it hasn't flaked off anywhere and still looms good.

Bozo pipes make vomit hover at the rear of my throat. Some paint was definitely on the list as most of the v-band clamps are stainless and anyone that has welded stainless with mild steel filler knows that rust happens fast. Thanks for the ideas. 2.5" seem okay? My 325i had 2.5" so I thought it would be okay for 3100

Or you can just run bozo pipes above the trunk which should make the exhaust almost inaudible inside the car while making it rediculously loud for everyone else lol.

It might be different with a full length exhaust but I ran my Fiero with no muffler for a while and it was way too loud. Also my Firebird with open 3.5" downpipe was rediculous.

not too bad, I bought a "Hot rod dual exhaust kit" from Summit with all mandrel bends like that for about $100 more a while back.

Pretty sure after the f23 swap the next thing I do will be exhaust. Gonna order one of these kits

A couple v-band clamps. And some bungs. All welding will be done by me. Exhaust will be straight through. Might throw a muffler on the back.

Opinions?
