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.  |

I'm going to try the petroleum solvent method when I get home tonight. Since the chrome is in perfect condition I would hesitate using an abrasive. As hard as chrome is, it still likes to scratch.

no you can't. use a brillo pad with soap and lightly rub the pipe but the same color/look will return. work it slowly with lots of water but again it's not worth the time since they will turn again.
