Guys, I think it would look like the Borla exhaust, only shinier.

I don't know about using aluminum polish. I had mine polished by a metal fabricator for $50 and it looks really nice. It looks like its crome plated.

What kind of process(es) did he use? Machined? Polished? Any ideas?

Thanks...

I don't have any pics right now, but I used Mother's Aluminum polish on the muffler and tips and it looks great. Although you really have to try hard to even see the muffler under the car.

They Used a high speed 16 in buffer with a couple of buffing compounds. It took 10 minutes to do the whole muffler. It was just a normal stainless steel buffing/ polishing procedure.

Thanks for the insight. I'm probably going to try something similiar when i receive my Borla. I'd like the muffler and pipes leading up to the tips to look like chrome (or as close as I can get it). Shouldn't be too hard...just a matter of finding the right compounds and putting them on in the right order. I'll post details and pics upon completion.
