I have this stainless exhaust system. How can i clean up the header to make it shine like the rest of the system. It seems to be burnt or dirt or roadtar stuck to it making this so difficult. Ive tried using steel wool with minimal results and 220 grit sandpaper seemed to work but takes forever. Is there a better way to do this?

Also general metal finishing tips

She's pretty fucked mate. Its going to take a long time to get it back to polished. If you had some very specific tools like a Dynabrade or a railing polisher belt sander it would be easier but I think you are kinda stuck. I'd get the bitch blasted and ceramic coated.

Hoping i wasnt going to have to take it anywhere to get blasted. Ill mount it as is if this is the case though i didnt pay enough for it to spend real money on making it look nice. Might try a brass wheel on an angle grinder and see if that can cut through it easier.

Heres my test run with 220 on a sander. Dont really have an easy way of getting the curves.
