I got an N1 catback on my ITR and I want the exhaust canister black to keep the cops away.. But I saw that the canister is made of polished stainless steel... any tips to be able to make the paint stick or it is barely impossible to paint the canister a decent way ? thanks

 

go to pep boys and get hi temp engine spray paint. you can also try walmart or pep boys and get bbq spray paint.

you can lightly sand it if you want, you dont really need to because the paint sticks well, if you do light coats and if its not too cold out.

after spraying it, let the car run to get the muffler hot to dry the paint up.

 

nice idea like sanding with 400 and shoot with some . I got s nice can of tremclad flat black paint but maybe gonna take some hi temp maniolf paint...

 

ya i would use some type of high temp paint but definitely sand first or the paint is going to peel off and its gonna look like **** and be a pain in the *** to fix

 

About a year ago my friend painted his n1 muffler with a hi temp paint, didn't sand or anything, still looks the same.

 

Sand and paint.

If you want to keep the cops away get rid of that loud *** exhaust!

 

damn is it that bad in Canada ?

 

I'd never paint my bling... i mean my N1, but be sure to post pics of it when you're done

 

thay aen't so bad... to be pulled over you need to pass near them in the vtec while rolling alot over the maximum speed....I rolled a complete summer with no cat and no silencer... was loud...

 

Are you painting the whole muffler? When I used to have an N1 I was going to paint the canister part flat black, but leave the tip polished. The canister is the main part that attracts the most unwanted attention, when people are behind you that thing reflects like a mirror.

 

I dunno sinec the whole thing is angled, it should look weird to see an angled tip but no canister....

 

Ouch. Dont paint it. Sell it and get something quiet or stock looking if its that much of a concern.

i agree, sell it and buy a magnaflow muffler and paint it black

 

I agree too the magnaflow custm was my plan B... anybody know how much a N1 rear section can sell ?

 

**** **** **** the police

 

I think I will roll the N! until I get pulled voer for and after will change for a more sleepy magnaflow or dynomax muffler
