[Warriorfreak99]

Read the title^ Lol need to clean my header up so I can paint it but its covered in baked on mud, how can I get it off?

A wire wheel

Or a wizwheel but it will take a few cookies

I done this to mine a few months back, I used a drywall block and some fine grit sandpaper, it helped a little bit but was still noticeable. I was gonna wrap it n Header wrap instead of paint it.

Wire wheel takes 15 mins tops and looks brand new.

I guess depend on how caked, hell I know just getting the middle of the pipe where the exhaust gasket where the header separates took me 20 minutes. I want to do like beast states and wrap mine though.

Header wrap in the stuff we ride in makes it corrode faster

Yep they are lots of pro's and con's to the header wrap that's why I haven't done it.

Ya bkrolls looked like hell when we took it off. I get mine ceramic coated chrome. Helps with heat and cleans up easy
