That stainless sure shines when its polished up. Its bound to stay pretty longer than my chrome tip. I have to polish this thing weekly to keep it looking right!! Lol. Just scrubbing it by hand won't do it. I gotta get after it with polish.

I pulled the Mistress out in the sun and took the opportunity to take so pics of the toolbox in the sun.
I got the tail section of the exhaust polished. I did not buy a tip and now that I have polished it I don't think I will that money can buy more parts.
I think it looks better in person than the pics show.
One down seven to go it is a lot of work but I think it will be worth it.

Got some more polishing done today try to finish up tomorrow. The bent pieces are the hardest to polish and I did those first so tomorrow should be a little easier.
Three down five to go.

All joking aside, and no offense to your truck Nate, but the underside of his truck already looks better than the top side of either one of ours! LOL!! That is no joke! I have looked under it. It looks as good underneath as it does on top!

Thanks Guy's I am a little worry about the install when I did the engine swap the factory down pipe was rubbing the fire wall so I don't know what I am going to be in for on this. I may have to do a Bill mod to make it clear.
