Cleaning Carbon out of Exhaust (kx500)

<< < (2/2)

dans89kx500:
Thanks for the info. seems like a blow torch is the best way to clean it out. I will also spray some oven cleaner in it today and let it sit.
Guy down the street suggested build a fire and clean it that way.....I live in Nor Cal and fires arent socially acceptable in the summer time. LOL

Thanks again,

Daniel

Just a little tip. If you spray oven cleaner in the pipe do not breath it when you start heating up the pipe with the torch.  I would just heat the pipe up and then see how clean you can get it.  If you really want it clean, I would just heat up the pipe with the torch and then after it cools put a few small rocks in the pipe and put it in the back of your car and truck and ride around with it for a week.  You would be surprised how clean the inside will get.

maybe i'm wrong but wouldn't heating up a chromed pipe red hot permanently discolor the chrome? if you didn't care about the look of the chrome it would be no big deal. just wondering, MADDOGGY

Good point Maddoggy.  I never needed to heat mine that much. Cam.
