Okay on my 73 2.0 resto I am wondering what to do for my HE. While some Stainless would be nice. My stock ones are in great shape. So I just want to make them look nice again. What do you guys recommend? What have you done with good results? Thought about Ceramic coating them but not even sure that would work.

1st step is kill the rust. short of ripping them apart the only way is to immerse them.
Find yourself a container that one will fit in completely & be tall enough to cover the down pipes. Buy a few gals of Apple cider vinegar min 5% acidity fill the sucker up & let soak for a day or two. Wash & neutralize with a bake soda THEN blast the outsides & paint with a HI zinc content paint like a cold galvanizing compound. Cheap & effective |
