Pretty sure those headers are Ti - not sure how a wire wheel would go here as opposed to stainless pipes.

Pretty sure those headers are Ti - not sure how a wire wheel would go here as opposed to stainless pipes.
I use a product called "WonderWheels" it's a cleaner for ally wheels, mildly acidic so wear some latex type gloves, and use a Scotchbrite pad, it removes all the horrible straw coloured staining on stainless headers especially where the first bend is. Once cleaned off then you can polish it with a metal polish like autosol or similar.
Titanium you think?
The scotchbrite wheel worked well but couldn't get right in the corners of the welds.
Might look into painting them one day.
Wonderwheels looks good, not as nasty as oven cleaner
not sure if ye have it over there but we use pickle paste here in Ireland and in less than 10 mins there back to as good as new.
I doubt they're Ti
yeah and its fucking nasty stuff too wear a mask with that shit Frank
