yeah.a few years ago i had one of those XTEC rebuildable mufflers.it was too shiny and noticable,so i took it apart and used a torch to turn it a golden color.depending on how hot you get it,you can make it just about any color you want.

Re: (supercreed2002)

or its oxy acetylene because acetylene is the type of gas used to weld, and cut with. oxygen is the accelerant for the acetylene.

i've never heard anyone call it settling before?
