Also, I'm sure your exhaust looks a million times better, but FWIW, I've had incredible results using Adam's two step metal polish. It's the best stuff I've found for polishing out scratches.
Will it work on the titanium as well? I don't mind the stainless steel scratches since its not going to be exposed very much when it is under the car.

I mainly want the bolts off because I want to adjust the left side, the previous owner must've backed up into something that caused the dent as well as pushing the tips all the way in. If you look closely you can see it too.

I'm going to try the PB Blaster, if it doesn't work then I'm going to ask the body shop what they can do when they install it, I just want the tips to be parallel.

Nah, he had TPs, he was selling it for $100 on his ad, but he wouldn't throw them in the deal when I asked. I'm guessing he gave them to Jon or something.

I don't see why not. I imagine it would work on just about any polished metal, though I would test it first. I don't know how it would work on metal surfaces that have been finished (like burnt titanium or a black chrome finish). I've actually been most pleased with the Adam's metal polish trying to clean up some metal items around the house.
