    Well this is all nicely welded polished stainless. But I wonder if a soft brass wire wheel on a drill at low RPM would be worth a shot??? hmmmmm

    gonna scratch it anyway. But you could polish it again with a buffer and some heavy compound.

    Man that's on there worse than I originally thought

    What mods have you done to the truck?
    The y is where heat will be most concentrated, but I wouldn't think the stacks themselves would be that hot. What diameter are the stacks? I've only ever run 7" singles, but I never had a heat problem with them

    I never have a heat issue with my custom stack either. And from corner to flat its about 5.5 inches. But my stack is a Pentagon shape.

    Try polishing compound with a buffer and see if that takes it off.

    Report back your findings for the next person. That way we have minimal threads on the same subject.

    Oh no doubt I will report back LOL. I don't like to leave a thread abandoned LOL. I don't have ny mods other than 4" turbo back exhaust to the twin 6" stacks. I don't have egt gauges yet still trying to save for them. I figured the y would be the hottest. So far I have tried driving it to soften the plastic then take an old plastic ice scraper and that didn't do much. Tried a razor blade and that was working but hard to do with out the chance of cutting myself.
