Caring for Your Vehicle

Exhaust Pipe and Muffler

The exhaust pipe and muffler are titanium and stainless steel but may become stained by mud or dust.

The part in the following illustration is coated to prevent oxidation.

To avoid damaging the coating, do not use aggressive chemical cleaners or compounds.

Coated area

To remove mud or dust, use a wet sponge and a mild detergent, then rinse well with clean water. Dry with chamois or a soft towel.

Use a soft cloth sprayed with a multi-purpose spray lubricant and wipe clean.

Uncoated area

To remove mud or dust, use a wet sponge and a liquid kitchen abrasive, then rinse well with clean water. Dry with chamois or a soft towel.

If necessary, remove heat stains by using a commercially available fine texture compound. Then, rinse by the same manner as removing mud or dust.
