All of you average results, take the headers off, kill two birds with one stone as the header nuts are normally rusted bad on the inside. Also gets new gaskets out of it. Take it to a polisher and get superior results. Then fit brass domed nuts that never rust or gall and match that glorious gold colour the header pipes go.

People think I have a brand new system fitted, I did find that the scarring popped back thru the finish like spikes, a soft copper brush rubbed violently will remove them without damaging the finish.
