prs Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 If you get heat discolouration on a titanium exhaust silencer is there a simple way of removing it, ie can you simply use fine - 1200 wet'n'dry - or does the discolouration go right through it. Presumably the hot spot will have been caused in the first place by the packing going thin and transmitting the heat to the outer skin.

Sheds Moderator Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 It's an oxide and only affects the surface. It will polish off ...and return. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Shurvinton Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Most of the reason people fit Ti cans in the first place is because of the nice colour change you get. Had you wanted it to stay shiny, you chose the wrong metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prs Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 Thinking about a new system Dave and theirs one on Ebay. Does your DS Laminova fit with a coil or do you need to have wasted spark. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I may have a new exhaust - it depends if my current SLR 4-2-1 & modified R500 silencer restricts the new engine . I'm not bidding on this silencer . Although £70 -100 is about the right price . C7 TOP Powered by Hellier Performance 😬 Now updated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
