I think if the exhaust looked more like the "polished" engine covers on the crossbones, it would look sweet. Anyone know if there would be any ill effects? I can't imagine it would cause the exhaust to rust or anything, considering it is probably stainless steel that has been chromed. I am also considering getting the muffler coated in black hi-temp powder coat. So if I try the brushed finish and it doesn't turn out, I can still get it coated.....
