Thanks for the quick reply there.

I would prefer to coat the pipes rather than paint them. Although the VHT spray is something I will try in the interim to match them up a bit to the existing headers.

You feel if I seal the both ends of the muffler to keep water and beads out I may be able to coat the pipes.??

I was worried that the actual heat process may destroy/burn the steel wool out.

The wool has a similiar appearance to the kitchen pot type wool and is not stainless. Will this burn out in the heat process?



I was not aware of the water/bead bath polish situation. Although I can now recal seeing some small white beads in the box when I received the first/original fibreglass mufflers back.

Would appreciate your thoughts or experience regarding the steel wool being burnt. I think I can seal the pipes with round discs and exhaust putty etc. to keep the grap out of the inners.

Cheers

Bernie
