should I worry about using this on a motorcycle exhaust?

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.

This is made to clean and polish chrome. It will even remove light rust and pitting. I use it on almost every part on my motorcycle.

Should be fine. I have some installed on a firewall near the engine and it is holding up fine. Lots of OEM manufactures use similar products on roofs of cars for sound deadening from the factory.

Don't have the experience to support a definite answer for that situation. I added a smear to my exhaust gaskets to help seal better but a head gasket may blow this stuff out! I would try buying gasket material that is equivalent to the old one and make it yourself by tracing and cutting. This stuff should not be used to seal head gaskets! Just my opinion from my experience & mechanical knowledge. Won't work, don't do it!

I am no expert. But it seems to me that as long as your exhaust pipe is not 90 degrees - anywhere - and that the distance to outside is short & it is away from overhang, you're OK. ....

Friend, that really depends on the bike. The bags in themselves, do not. If there is an exhaust in the vicinity,I would recommend racks or shield to protect the bike's plastics and the bags.

(Assuming you mean a jet Lance type car wash) I would Not advise. Though there are sturdy enough to withstand the pressure and chemical abuse, Jet Lancing is a lazy option that introduces a lot of un-necessary hazards and trauma to a motorcycle and should be refrained from as a common practice. It will over time deteriorate chrome never mind destroy paintwork on a bike. Chemical residue, if not completely removed will destroy in time the rubber cap on the KEPP.If you have to use a Jet Lance .... try and avoid spraying directly into where the wires enter the power point. As a precaution afterwards make sure you rinse and dry both sides of the rubber cap. (Assuming you mean a jet Lance type car wash) I would Not advise.

No. It's permeable it will not seal the leak. Go to your local auto store they have many different options to fix exhaust leaks most for cheap.

I would definitely say yes just because of the fact that I too work on them more than ever. This is a really loud ratchet but if you don't mind it's a really good ratchet. You can just wrap a shop towel around the exhaust and that will dampen the noise. :) for the price. There is draw back but really good tool

Yes it can it will withstand temps up to I believe 1500 degrees but it depends as to how close you get to actual exhaust head. I think you should be fine using this on exhaust pipes with no problems but I do recommend at least two to three coats. Hope this helps good luck.

No. This air cleaner is junk. I had for a month when out riding and Chrome plug fell out. I would suggest buying the one my by Harley.

It should be. I used it on Harley exhaust with no issues. Those get hotter than truckexhaust. Just follow the instructions to the letter.

I wouldn't; too much exhaust would collect. I placed a 4'X4' piece of 3/8'" plywood on top and propped other pieces alongside. The gaps let the exhaust out and allowed the engine to breathe but I could still hear it inside the house. This unit is not that loud, but it is noticeable. Good luck!

I don't think so. You are going to want to keep the material away from the muffler until it cools.

We run this from the back of our 17' cube van but aim the exhaust outside. It is still not a good idea I know, but the terrain we work on occasionally does not allow us to take it down and move it around. In an enclosure it will be loud, hot and of course noxious (read deadly) to anything living. I would not recommend it at all unless properly vented & cooled.

I doubt if it would harm the fittings material, for my purposes, it has always "just worked." Probably the smart move would be to test the sealant on a spare fitting first.

My Harley service told me not to worry but do monitor how your bike responds. Since it make the motor run leaner there could be some heat issue. I installed it on my 2010 ultra classic with the stock engine and have had No problems. Checked the spark plugs after a few thousand miles of hard riding and they looked good. I loved the performance boost that the kit gave my bike. Was a straight forward installation also. Hope this helps.

This product is good to 500 degrees. I would use a product with a higher temperature rating for an exhaust. Also, at least with silver, it should be clear-coated with the matching clear-coat product. You would not want to use a two-stage paint on an exhaust.
