BLUE exhaust tips?

Z11 · 07-16-2012, 05:59 PM

is it possible or anyone know if there are RED exhaust tips, instead of blue ones, and i want the exact same look but red, not all red. and how do they make it blue to begin with?

There's a seperate forum for exhaust mods/issues:

Intake/Exhaust - Nissan 370Z Forum

Might have better luck there.

those are burnt exhaust tips... they don't "make" them blue, its the color metal turns to when put under a flame(torch?)

The actual process is called "Steam Bluing". The only real trick is heating the metal up in the presence of moisture (Humid air is good enough). Actually had customers do it by accident in tempering furnaces that I was working on a few times.

Why is this thread titled BLUE exhaust tips when you're asking about RED exhaust tips?

You may be able to anodize it but don't really see the point

If its on a civic, yes.

If its the Amuse exhaust on a Z...I don't think the word cheap should come any where near it.

Wow...

Tribalpinoy91 · 07-17-2012, 11:16 PM

I do not care for the amuse kit, it makes the Z look like a frog. Everyone's got their own taste..
