Hey guys, I'm going to put on the Magnaflow muffler on the Galant. Just wondering if any one has experience with which polishing brand they use and have had good experience with. I've already gotten the sanding down, just need a heads up on which polishing brand I should use. I'll post some pics up as soon as the camera has some battery.

Got it sorta shiny. Shiny enough for me. ended with 600 grit ... because I forgot to buy the 2000 grit. 600 is good enough for me though. I don't want a mirror finish. :D

quite happy. I should have taken a picture of it when I took it off. You could not even spot a hint of the "chrome".

Nice! It works well on all aluminum under the hood including A/C lines, heat shields, ect. use a little 0000 fine steel wool with it & finish with cotton terry towel or paper towel.

hmm...pictures work perfectly for me. Anyways, I'll do a video of before and after with the Apexi N1 I have on right now and this one(magnaflow) after I install it. Should be a "bit" more quiet. lol.
