I am stunned. Absoutely beautiful and amazing.

I'm sure the key here, as with most addictions, is Just Don't Start. Once you do I'm sure you're hooked. How could you do only half or a quarter for that matter and stop there.

I got a good look at the bottom of mine when I got my new Fister mufflers on a few weeks ago and I have been trying to forget what I saw down there---not nearly that pretty. This thread didn't help at all but you have my total admiration.

If you don't mind sharing, what steps did you follow to get the exhaust system looking that way?

I used a set of wire brushes, Xenit, steel wool, a the other secret weapon...................A DRILL with an assortment of wire brush attachments. A lot of elbow grease but it turned out real nice. The pictures do not actually do it much justice. I looks much better in person.

So yesterday afternoon I decided to tackle the rear wheel wheels. What a bloody Mess!! That was the worst job by far. I fully recommend a long pair of pants, a long sleeve shirt and some rubber gloves. I wore shorts and a t-shirt and that was a big mistake. Spent some time scrubbing in the shower. One other point......CLEAN THE WHEEL WELLS IN THE STREET!! I cleaned mine in my Cul-De-Sac and made a mess everywhere. I shop vac the mess up which made the neighbors happy. I will post pictures later of the before and after.
