As above, & try to get a medium size container of the original ElbowGrease. Some of the newer substitutes are not as good as the older version of EG. The older formula was more dependable. :props: Oh & some older microfiber clothes or very soft toweling will help also.

If you have it on hand, try an aeresol foaming glass cleaner and some steel wool.

On my car I use my fingers to take remove tar or whatever is stuck on there then I use a mothers power ball with mothers metal polish. I have a legacy gt with dual exhaust, it's a lot if exhaust to cover but the ball and my cordless drill make it go fast.

I used to go the way that lgtftw did it until i picked up some 0000 steel wool. That pulls everything off of the exhaust so quickly. All the gunk, tar, rust, etc comes off in a couple of passes and you can go from a completely grimy tip (worse than the one above) to a mirror like finish in under 5 minutes. 0000 steel wool is the best thing since sliced bread IMO.

I dont know how well this would work in your case.

But I use this of my magnaflow tips.

I bought it to clean my bbq grill but decided to try it on my tips and it worked pretty well.
