Polished my headers on my Firebolt last year after seeing how good they looked from some fellow badwebbers.

Looks to me like the headers on my 1125 are begging for the same treatment....anyone done it yet?

Yes, I did it to my 1125 headers the same way I did my XB's. They look much better. No blue or purple.

Ummmmm, can I see some pics? I was thinking of header paint or ceramic coating, but haven't really seen one that's been polished...

Can't see it too well, but in this pic they ARE polished. Looks brighter/shinier in person.

I might have missed something, but can you tell me what you used to polish the headers?

Dtx, did you have to remove the headers, or did you just polish them as best you could while still in place?
