Unsightly Exhaust!!!

So i have a problem i have a jap speed exhaust sytem however i dont know alot about them. Im not sure if they come this way or the previouse owner just wanted to make it look like i had a japspeed exhaust when infact i had a cheep tacky exhaust.

 

I have 2 japspeed tips which are stainless stell and scrub up nicely and are pleasent to look at. However behing the tips you will find a none stainless sytem i dont know if they come like this or if somebody has just welded some stainless tips on but if you look from behind you can see a a ghastly looking rusty pipework.

 

Know i was just wondering what the best way of cleaning this up was or if it is supposed to be even like that.

 

Do people get the scrub out and emory cloth it away or can you paint it with high heat paint i dont know.

 

I'm at work at the moment so any advice will go down well and could coolect the things that i may need to sort it from here.

 

This may be clearer for some when i egt home and upload some pictures of it.

 

Pictures to follow B)

Chances are it's either a K1 or a K2 (if it is a Japspeed and not been bodged together like you suspect). To help identify which you have, take a lok at this thread - both are very different. http://www.350z-uk.c...vs-japspeed-k2/

 

EDIT: Just found your post in your build thread. You have a K1 my friend (Same as me) :thumbs:

 

Ive also given my exhaust a quick clean could do with some more like

With some TLC and elbow grease, you should be able to clean it up to a presentable level, although if pitted, I doubt you'll see a mirror finish.

Japspeed don't have a good reputation in the 350Z community. A number of years ago people who bought their systems seem happy enough, but anything less than 5 years old seems to be complete rubbish.
