Header and Pipe cleaner

[Dean Pappas]

I wonder if the ceramic coating guys, the kid brother uses for the drag car headers, can do anything with our parts. 
That leaves a slick surface that adds some tiny bit of ponies.
I'll let you know.

Those of you that don't want to handle some of the corrosive chemicals one could use to clean 2 stroke headers and ally pipes, my friend Gary showed me a nontoxic method that anyone can use. Why didn't I think of that?
 
Dip the header or pipe in warm water with some dishwashing liquid and then take a Brillo or SOS (steel wool with soap) pad and scrub it. It surprised me how quickly and easily it worked. In ten minutes I had both the header and pipe cleaned, and the header especially was caked pretty good with baked on oil. 
 
I used the new Brillo with Oxy Action, but I think either will work fine. $1 for 5 pads at the local WynnDixie. 
 
Then worked the typical polishing with Brasso metal cleaner, and after about 20 minutes polish job, pipe and header look better than when new.
