Get rust off Stillen Y pipte?
Hey, I purchased a Stillen Y pipe and a random technology CAT, used from E-bay. It has some rust on it, metal polish doesn't seem to do anything, what would I need to buy at a store like home depot to get the rust off? Thanks for your help

To answer your question, no, not if the clear coat used is the right one. There are high temperature rust proofing sprays availible. I have a couple little spots beginning to form on my Y-pipe and was just curious if others had the problem. Stainless Steel, more like Stainless ****. Just one more reason not to do business with $tealin...

I wouldn't worry about the rust. First of all, it's only surface rust, and unless you have a show car, I wouldn't worry about it. And if you really did have a show car, you'd have it polished or chromed. Secondly, exhausts rust out from the inside, NOT the outside. So if you think it's bad on the outside, imagine the inside.

Stillen y-pipes have never been made of stainless steel, their all mild steel and the newer ones are mild stell with a ceramic coating.

400 grit wet sandpaper...from autoparts store or home depot or lowes.
Use VHT Brand Hi Temp Black Paint. Follow directions for 3 layers. The Y-Pipe will last longer than the car.

Just make sure the label says its for exhaust piping, manifolds etc, otherwise you'll have a pleasant burning scent from your car.
