Just wanted everyone to be careful when cleaning the muffler tips. There's a very sharp edge inside the tip.

I had a wet rag and I was cleaning the very end of the exhaust tips where the black smokey buildup occurs and the rag wasn't doing a good job, so not thinking I put my finger there and started rubbing the black stuff off and SLICE!

I too am a victim of the sharp exhaust tip. I sliced mine so bad that I think I did something to the nerves because now whenever it gets really cold out the tip of my finger goes completely numb!
