Hey all, two questions: 1. i want to refinish my muffler. it looks like it is rusty even though it really isn't since it's stainless.... i don't need it to look like chrome, i just want it to look like it is new again. is a muffler best painted, or is there a polishing job that can be done? i'd obviously bring this to a specialist. 2. i'm interested in the catalytic converter straightpipe since i live in a state without emissions testing. it would be ideal to do this job when i refinish the muffler. is this a very difficult job? are the bolts typically quite rusty and solid? also - are there any downsides to removing the cat besides higher hydrocarbon emissions? any thoughts are welcome!
