My New Muffler: To Paint or Not to Paint

[theKnifeArtist]

My new Megan Muffler:

I have flat black high temp paint. Paint it? Or leave it? Is there a way i can paint it and keep the logo?

 

[buckshotglass]

Don't paint it. The paint won't last long enough.
Put it in a box and sent it to me. That is your best option.

 

[empera]

pfft...dont u date.

 

[JesseH]

dont paint, at some point the paint will start to flake off anyway

I have a black coated A'PEX N1 sitting in my garage..same design as the Megan Racing muffler. When done the shiny black at the factory it looks amazing..but I don't know how well your muffler would turn out in comparison.

And yea the paint would get peeled off over time as shit on the road hits the can.

 

[theKnifeArtist]

its not lookin good for the black, good points

 

[Mrbaboon]

If you really just want a black muffler sell that one and buy one of these

Sounds the same..if not better than the megan and also looks like sex.

 

[themadhatter]

i have the same muffler and i was thinking of painting the body of it black and leaving the tip unpainted but thats me

 

[theKnifeArtist]

how much does that cost? it looks hott
what about painting just the tip? bad idea?

Mine cost me a hair over 400 canadian, taxes and shipping in. The 7" or so round clamp to hold it on was 15 dollars.

Stupid expensive, but remember you're buying somethign from A'PEX. And just looking at how perfectly machine welded it is makes you want to sit down. Is also the best sounding muffler on our engine as far as I have heard. (Nashman swore by it)

i dunno why people say this... i painted my exhuast flat black before (just a 3" pipe out the back), but that exhaust is gone now... never had any issues w/ the paint... just used header paint

S13 but you get the idea.

Don't even need all that.
I use rustoleum <sp> flat black.... never comes off.

The muffler and DP back exhaust isn't really hot to begin with.
