Yesterday before leaving the shop, I pulled the exhaust to take home as homework. The stock exhaust is a two part bolt on unit with a shared muffler about halfway down. The stock pipes have a bit of surface rust and some dings/scrapes, but luckily no holes.
My plan for the pipes is to paint them a jet black color, and wrap them up with either a black wrap or an off-white wrap. I thought about going all out on some custom fabricated pipes, but I think I'll stick with stock for now. Some folks like running a 3-1 down the right side of the machine. I happen to like the 2-1 + 1.
To prepare the pipes for the paint, I bought a Makita angle grinder with a wire brush cup. I also bought a flat sanding disk for some of the flat sections along the exhaust.
I'm new to grinders, so I spent some time reading the manual before firing up the new toy...
