How Do They make The muffler Tip Burnt Style

hey guys.

Just wondering if anyone has insider information into how exhaust companys make the stainless steel tips burnt, titanium look.

Thanks

good question, ive never thought about it but i would like to know too. Im thinking it would be some sort of high heat treatment and then sudden cooling etc.

Probably blowtorch. You just need to burn the metal (have a look at an overheated drill bit).

The only problem with burning metal is it gets soft...

was told with an "oxy burner,.... "

im sticking my neck out there and saying that its either the way they cut it..or as tobster mentioned, heating it some how.

Could it just be staining of the metal?

yup i second that.. try using a oxy welder... that works... just burn ther outer tip of the exhaust and let it cool then u get that titaninum tip effect.

for the gold effect, steam dream it hahha

Ok. I'll ask my exhaust fitter to give it a go.

do u mean that the tip of it turns blue??:confused:
if thats wot u mean then its the metrial of teh exhaust, it changes colour when its heated

ricer! haha :thumbsup:

When you buy a s/s header it turns purple after a while so heating the inside pipe is prolly what has to be done.
