I don't want some bullshit, smart *** answer to this.

I was curious, I have an Apexi N1 Turbo Muffler and I want to achieve the same "burnt" effect through out the whole canister, just as Amuse does. And I was curious to know if anyone had any home grown ideas of how to achieve this look on the muffler, I.E heating it up a certain way, etc.

So if someone could answer this question, maybe someone with alittle experience in this, that would be great.

Thanks,

Justin

 

hmmm interested

 

i think cause the Amuse exhaust is Titanium?

 

The type of metal changes color over time after its been heated i think.

 

titanium

Titanium

Get a titanium exhaust and you're good to go!

 

many metals turn a certain color as a certain temperature, no just titanium. but yes, the amuse is titanium.

 

 

i think u can achieve that look on stainless with an acetylene torch.

Are you talking about this look? Cuz i know Amuse got a purplish look to their exhausts.

 

some looked like they were painted with a blue marker
ebay

 

Go to Home Depot or wherever and get a Mapp gas torch and burn the tip. Put the flame to it until it glows red hot...then it will be blue. i did it to my stock exhaust

i hope you are kidding.

 

titanium turns that burnt color because it is burnt, look at that one above, it has the color where they weld

 

Not sure how that would look on wheels, but on exhausts it is right at home.

 

Stick it in the fire pit while you're camping and roasting marshmallows.

interesting. do it.

 

You can achieve the same style look on a new SS header by coating it with WD40 and then heating it up a good amount...try it out

 

the wheels i dea. volk had a way to do it. but i don't suggest you go out and super-heat your wheels. thats like powder coating them. they will break.

 

Please don't do this on wheels, it will modify the alloy's microstructure wich change it's mechanical properties and you don't want that unless you've made some research and you're sure the properties will change for better, that would definetly impress me...
