...I guess what they say about Fremont cops are true after all.

To answer your question, yes, flat black will make your muffler less noticable at night.

Yup, any hi-temp engine paint will do the trick. I used some on my muffler and it's holding up great. Sleeper

you can pick up BBQ paint at any home depo. Also alot of people cut off the tips of the exhaust but you might want to take it to a muffler shop so they can make the cut perfect.

Just remeber to rub alcohol on first to clean up any tar or grease on the piping first

I do that with all of my exhaust... 1200degree doesn't come in flat black... it comes in low gloss black. 500degrees come in flat black.
