I really want your exhaust flint. The gold looks good. But you won't ship and traveling to pick it up is really far and I might as well just pay for new when the gas is so high.

Not to be a complete dick or anything, but its not entirely that great. Notice all the gold and lack of color on the tip. I mean good on you for doing it, but its not the same result if you had a titanium tip. Nah mean

For comparative. Don't get me wrong, you got the start, it's just not the same effect.

its not that perfect yet, but i say it could be improved.. clean it up and redo. Well you have at least you hit your goal, a hint of blue on the tip.. of course its not gonna be pretty like a titanium, but its a 145$ SS exhaust lol.

* a lil up from the positive side, it didnt turn out to be an ugly dull gold

Thanks guys. It's no where near perfect. Spicy, what I did to get rid of that gold was just polish it; it seemed impossible to just get the tip. I was just happy with proof of concept more or less.

I think i'm going to tape up the blue and just polish the gold off. It may look better with a contrast.
