Well I know its not to every ones taste but I love the burnt blue look on the end of exhaust tips like j's racing ones.
My question to you is how is it done (I presume heating with a blow torch or some thing like that) and would it be possable to do it to an allready finished exhaust?
I ask because I have seen an exhaust I want but with no blue tip's
thanks

Map gas, and clean the tips off to the cleanest you can get them, so you need to polish and spend a lot of time on them. It will change colour but time it carefully.

DIY i don't think you will get them a deep shiny blue.

 

Most you see are Titanium, this gives the nice blue hues.
You really need a big hot flame as AJ says - ideally oxy-acetylene (unless you have a furness)

 

Right i decided to have a go at doing this on my exhaust i have at the moment, it went quite well i had to try a couple of different blow torches before i could get enough heat. Needed to get it good and hot to really bring out the colours, i don't think i will try it with an expensive exhaust just in case, probably just fork out and get a j's.

 

Is the 3rd pic the end result?if so well done that looks passable to me

 

Yep that's the end result well i might do the whole tip, what do you think would look best? will get some pic's on the cat tomorrow when it's not raining so much! summer my arse.

 

That looks very good! well done!

 

Great effort well done

 

I like just blue tips. The Amuse I have has blue tips and that looks sexy as IMO. Although that is titanium...

That is a bloody good job you have done though!

 

Yeah +1 that is very good. Which gas blowtorches failed?
