Default Anyone polished the stock muffler?

I'm curious if anyone has polished the stock muffler, and if so, how you went about it?

I don't really want to go with an afermarket exhaust, but I'd like it if the stock muffler wasn't always so nasty looking. Realistically, pulling it off and polishing it with a bench motor with a wire wheel, then a polishing wheel would do it quickly and relatively painlessly, but I lack the bench, and the motor.

Anyhow, I figure someone would have done this, anyone remember someone doing it? Search turned up nothing.

you can easily polish the exhaust tip with some Fritz paste.

The muffler, not the tips.

The stock exhaust & muffler are just plain steel. If you stripped the paint off, it would rust or oxidize in no time at all. You need to have a stainless steel exhaust system if you want to polish it and have it stay that way.
