Cleaning SSI exchangers

[Kris Clewell]

Now that my motor is shiny bright and new, Id like to clean the stainless SSI stuff and my stainless M&K muffler so they look nice as well. What have you guys had good results with? They arent rusty or corroded. just off colored and dirty. Thanks!

I had mine media blasted and ceramic coated. Looks great and stays that way.

oh boy. hmm... what did that cost you might I ask? I was hoping for a free.99 elbow grease method.

Considering what orange bar hood emblems are going for these days, I thought it was a deal at $475.

I used a bronze pot scrubber (like coarse steel wool) and mineral spirits. The bronze or brass won't scratch them up.

gsjohnson- what color and ceramic coating did you choose?

They are so pretty by themselves. Just use some heavy gel type degreaser and then scrub them with steel wool. Then polish them up with a buffer and some metal polish.

Forgot the color name, but I was told this is what the 911 guys are doing.

Looks like aluminizing, like the famous "bundle of snakes" exhaust on that "hot Vee" V8 old Ferrari F1 car- the 158 I think it was.
