has anyone used this on a stainless steel exhaust system?

VHT sprays better than any "rattlecan" paint I have ever used. Paint stainless steel? Why? But if you have to, this is as good a high temp paint as there is. You need to prime with high temp primer too after cleaning and scuffing with 400 grit paper.

Yes. Its stainless steel, good luck messing it up. Brake cleaner seems to work well for soot removal.

Hello, the exhaust is made from stainless steel but is powder coated flat black. Only the tips are visible when installed. I've had it 2+ years and love it.

I did not use it on my car. I used it on the underside of my stainless steel kitchen sink to deaden the sound. I did three coats. It has worked great.

hello, this product takes rust off any metal, but we also use flitz on motorcycle exhaust pipes. we have also used simichrome to get the bluing off of the chrome.

Yes, I had some issues with rust after a few winters when there was a lot of chemicals on road. But it's common in my area and this exhaust sounds much better than the flowmasters I replaced.

I have only used it on copper rings, so I am not sure about stainless steel rings.

I have used it for years on intake manifold gaskets. Seems to hold up well to fuel flowing through the intake ports.

It depends on how much salt your cars going to see through out your season. Iv'e had mine for two years in NC and do a detailed clean on it every 6 months. Its held up after three winter storms were we had massive amounts of salt on the road. I dont think any exhaust system will be spotless in a Northeastern winter though. Since this is cheap you could get away with buying a new one every two years if it gets bad.

I've used it on all my stainless steel appliances and it works great. Would recommend this product. I've tried many other products and they all left steaks.

Yes it can be used with factory exhaust. We just installed it on our truck and have had no problems.

This CANNOT be adhered directly to any exhaust piece. This is to be used on electronics, module, sensors, firewall, etc. It will melt and burn if the adhesive side contacts any hot exhaust piping. Good luck!

The post by gmcda gives some good advice. My 97 Chevy Tahoe had lots of rust on the exhaust. I was able to salvage my studs by using a rust dissolving catalyst spray called PB Blaster the night before. The next morning, I resprayed before I set out the tools. I used an impact wrench and I had all the studs out in minutes. Low torque is the key to not breaking the studs. Now, heat is king for removing rusty parts if you have it. The kit comes with new bolts and gasket for the rear flange so I used a sawzall to cut those bolts out by cutting right through the old rear flange gasket. Getting the exhaust plug and the drilling were the longest part of the project. The post by gmcda gives some good advice. My 97 Chevy Tahoe had lots of rust on the exhaust.

I have only used it on my tahoe and not real close to exhaust. Love the bag, tons of space.

Yes it does work on any stainless steel surface. U need to buff it with kitchen towel to get rid of the black grime.

I use stainless steel cleaner, occasionally. That is to say - when I see a stain that might be a little stubborn, I'll use the cleaner before it becomes more serious. Otherwise, no it is not hard to clean (this is coming from a man, now - who has cleaned car engines and transmissions - take this with a grain of salt!)
