Gunk Engine degreaser, a couple of diff sizes brushes (nylon) and a pressure washer (reg hose will work too though).

Thanks guys,

First step is getting these bad boys. They are clear zinc and black zinc by my company. We also do parts for Dinan, Toyota and jongbloed racing although we do not concentrate on cars. I decided to get all the rust off and redo these bad boys. Opinions welcomed!

Thanks guys for the comments.

The tips in black lasted me before over a year and half and that's with a lot of track driving, the outside looked great, but the inside would get a bit discolored since i'm running straight pipes and all the hot air would discolor the inside a bit, but after driving normal for a bit it would turn black once again and it wouldn't be noticeable at all.

If you guys want to give it a try, just PM and i can give you shipping information i do not mind doing it for free as longest shipping is covered in order to gauge a few other exhaust systems and get feedback.
