Swapping the chrome exhaust tip for the black one

holy hell. It’s freaking impossible to remove. Anyone else done this and have tips on doing this??? I tried to slide it back but it stops after about 3 inches and won’t budge past that.

 

Whoops wrong forum

 

Just painted my chrome tip with DupliColor Blackout chrome kit

 

I did this and it took awhile for me also but it eventually came off.

 

I would be interested in seeing how long the paint will last due to the high heat generated from the exhaust.

 

It doesn't really get too hot for paint to deteriorate. I usually use high heat paint just in case and mine are looking like new almost 3 years later (not Tacoma).

 

The temperature range paint is up to 200+degrees

 

Shit I like that!!! Might do this and sell the stock one just so I don’t have to fuck with this thing again

 

Idk but it melted the skin on my arm right off a year ago.

 

You just have to keep man handling it. It is indeed - a bitch to remove once it starts corroding. It will come off, but it takes some TLC. Took me about 45 mins to finally pry mine loose.

 

Should've used high heat paint, exhaust pipes can reach up to 1200 degrees
