I'm just wondering if anyone has tried painting their exhaust with heat resistant paint from the cat back? I've been thinking of doing that (buying the engine paint for $5) and spraying it. GOOD IDEA? BAD IDEA? WHY ? ANYONE DID IT?

please dont paint it, it looks horrible. i seen some cars around my area with their exhuast painted and it looks like crap. the best color for exhuast is chrome or polished, always has been and always will.

PLUS if you paint it it will make your car heavier. even 1 thin coat of paint on the exhuast will make u lose about 4 hp cuz of the weight gain and you dont want that

If you want it a different color, get it powdercoated.

Well ... my 2.25" piping and muffler gets REALLY hot.... don't know what other people's Civics do ... but I'm kinda worried about mine on rainy days...... kinda like sprinkling droplets of water onto a dry pan on a burning stove. *shizzle* .... CAN ANYONE TAKE SOME WORRIES OFF MY BACK?

Then sell your current exhaust system and get greddy v2 evo, Stainless catback.

His dc catback is powder coated in black color.

eh dont worry, ALL exhausts get really hot and are exposed to the same elements. water isnt going to hurt your exhaust

More often then not Exhaust rust thru from the inside out not from the outside in. This is caused from the moisture that is a product of combustion that condenses inside your pipes then when you shut the car off mother nature takes over! Unless of course you live in part of the country that uses lots of salt in the winter.
