Hi all,

Does anyone know where I can get new header pipes (or ones without any rot!) for a '97 M600?

Thanks in advance.

They shouldn't rot, they're stainless steel - albeit a low grade. If they're brown then they will polish back to shiney with some effort or post em off to a polisher!!

Hmm. Using a specialist metal polish like Brasso or the like? Will do that - thanks for the info.

You might struggle with Brasso, it's not abrasive enough.

I used a wire brush in a drill to scrub the snot off then a series of polishing mops together with Wet&Dry to get em shiney. It's a lot of work - took me about 40 hours!! You could always send them to a polisher

40 hours!!!

You have way to much time on your hands Pedro :eek:

P.S. Would you like to do mine for me?

P.P.S. I have two sets of very snotty headers BTW... pretty please :mand:
