$6 Exhaust Mod.
I just got my S muffler today from one of our members. I was talking with cnavarro last night and we were looking at a techart muffler. It had flat black tips. SO.... I was thinking it would look nice if the whole damn thing was flat black.. :) It is reversable if you want it back to stock with some paint remover. So high temp flat black it is now..

I wonder what that would look like installed on the car.
Can you take pics? |
Does it increase hp and sound?! :p
J/K....it looks cool. Take pics after you throw it on the car. |
I powder coated my tips, love it!

I too am a fan of the black muffler and tips - I powdercoated my oval ('03) tips and spray painted my muffler with flat black ceramic. I liked it so much I used the rest of the can on our Jeep Patriot's muffler.

I wouldn't do it with your tips. I think it would look as though there was no opening in black, plus you would not see all the smaller holes around the tip which makes it cool.

No! Don't touch them

With insight from JAAY and various other posts as points on interests I completed this small and very easy of a task over the weekend. I opted for a flat black which is a bit more flat than JAAY's but overall I am happy with the results. So far, none of the paint has chipped if it ever does I will strip it down and go for a color more like JAAY's. It took a hell of a lot longer to cover the car with newspaper than to spray the mufflers, but for the price and at home convenience it is well worth it. Enjoy!

Cartel, looks good, but you could have saved yourself a lot of work and simply taken off the tips then paint. The 03/04 tips are held on by 1 bolt :D
Now go drill some holes! http://986forum.com/forums/diy-project-guides/20547-powder-coated-exhaust-tips.html http://986forum.com/forums/diy-project-guides/19770-diy-exhaust-mod-%96-gain-10-hp.html http://lh5.ggpht.com/_9sTq_sN1KDw/Sa...2009%20002.jpg |
JAAY,
The colour looks great. What exact paint did you use? What prep did you do on the muffler? Pictures with in on your car would be great. I was thinking of this for mine as I have black box. |
Uhhhh... Some pep boys flat black engine paint high temp. No gloss. I'll take some shots tomorrow at at the tsbl.
|
Cant wait to see them....take care
|
