Cknox121 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Like the title says, I have some type of caulking or liquid nail type substance on my exhaust tip. It's kinda rubbery feeling but won't come off with washing or a wire brush... Any suggestions? Sent from my cracked iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Cknox121 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 How did you manage that? Was on it when I bought the truck. Construction worker had it so I'm assuming it was something like that. Sent from my cracked iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MrHot88 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Looks like epoxy to me from just looking at the picture. Take a heat gun and drill. Get you a wire brush to attach to drill. Heat the pipe up some a d light hit it with the brush. My guys run into this from time to time. Never tried it on a tail pipe though. My two cents worth. Note: do test spot where it won't be noticeable. Goodluck , Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Cknox121 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks didn't think of heating it. Will have to try that. Thinking of giving it a good polish also. Any advise? I don't have the Adams metal polishing combos. Thinking of sand paper, wool with polish and then a a metal polish on a rag.

0 Cknox121 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 i also say yank it and put on a larger single tip It's in the plans Thinking a 7-8in tip. Not sure yet. Sent from my cracked iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 AmethystBMW Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I agree with the other guys regarding replacing the tip. It might be a pain to get out. If you're strapped for cash then try removing it with a wire brush then use some 000 or 0000 steel wool to get most of the scratches out then use Adam's metal polishes to shine them up.

0 BrianT Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Step 1: Place left foot on brake Step 2: place truck in drive Step 3: mash throttle, but don't release brake Step 4: admire all the new black rubber texture on exhaust!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MrHot88 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Even though Adam sells the best polish I don't think you could get that to shine If you so please post pics. I'd keep the truck if u were you Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 MrHot88 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Noway you'll get it hot enough just running the truck, wouldn't you think it would be off by now with him driving the truck? No, it will take super high heat if it is epoxy as I'm thinking it is. We're talking about a tailpipe, not the manifold. Kevin At the risk of being a smarta**, why do you need a heat gun?

0 BrianT Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'm surprised that with the truck going into regens that it hasnt burned off by itself. Next time you notice it going into a regen, see if that goop softens at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
