Title: Getting melted rubber off pipes Post by: speedknot on February 18, 2011, 09:31:52 AM Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get melted boot rubber off the exhaust pipes. I have to chrome conti style pipes and for some reason my left heel rubs on the pipe where it meets the header. :(

Since the chrome is in perfect condition I would hesitate using an abrasive. As hard as chrome is, it still likes to scratch.

As hard as chrome is, it still likes to scratch. i use fine steel wool pads on chrome all the time and makes it shine up nice i would get em hot and try ultra fine steel wool.
